Re: extracting

[Mike Gorse <mgorse WPI EDU>]

Either command will work.  The -v flag causes tar to be verbose and list
the files that it extracts.

Run tar --help or look at the manpage (ie, man tar) for more
information.  It is standard for Unix programs to have manpages that list
these options, and gnu programs typically display a list of options that
they accept if given --help.

And I appologize for boring you if you knew all of that already.

     If you're an oister, then don't let your perl get away from you.
