gunzip question

[roger_122]

Trying to gunzip a file. Getting this error:

gunzip: sx.gz has more than one entry -- unchanged

How do we gunzip this file.?

Thanks

Roger,

From the man page:

"To extract zip files with several members, use unzip instead of gunzip."

If it is a .gz file, you might want to user the newer version og gunxip

It seems ur file is a gzip file created from a tar file . Try 'gunzip sx.gz' and see what it gives . OR use 'zcat sx.gz | tar xvf -' if u r sure that it is a gziped tar file .

You can also try the GNU gzip.

It has many advanced options.

Hi Roger

Syntax is

#gunzip

Unzipped file will be seen in same directory
