What kind of file is this?

[zoobie]

I can download a compressed file ending with tar.gz but I can't open it in winzip. What kind of files are these and how do I open it?

Thanks :angry2:

They are like zip files but are a different type. I think you can open them with winace. :)

or winrar


they are linux type zip files

Wow...How depressing.

It looks like every Tom, ----, and Hairy is now going to have their own files which can't be opened without their shareware partners program. Soon, there will be thousands of shareware programs all wanting a piece of the pie.

Oh well...I guess I'll see if the contained files work anyway.

Thanks :angry2:

uh... tar.gz is like the offical unix / linux .zip file

Oh...Guess I had it backwards...heh heh.

Anyway, I got it open. :p
