Your can 'gunzip' to uncompress the archive.

Change directory to where you archive is

# /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip ./Managerhpux.tar.gz

Missed something....

# /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip ./Managerhpux.tar.gz

Once the file has been un-zipped you can extract from the archive.

change directory to where you wish to extract.

# tar xvf /directoryname/Managerhpux.tar

Hello,

Mr. SivaKumar, uncompress won't work, that works only for .Z files.

of course if the file isn't really a gz none of the commands will work!

file file.tar.gz
to verify format.

# file /one.tar
/one.tar: tar file
# gzip /one.tar
# file /one.tar.gz
/one.tar.gz: awk program text

awk program text.. yikes..
of course that should say gz
