Re: gzip bzip2


Ronald,

And your answer is by no means correct.

The "x" is "eXtract" command signifier while the "z" that Brian is familiar with is the option signifier for gZip/gunZip compression / de-compression. The "j" signifies for Bzip2 compression / de-compression.

Substitute the "x" with a "j" in your tar command.

This is by no means a Cygwin question, by the way :\
