Re: extracting

["A. R. Vener" <salt aero-vision com>]

file names are just a convention.  typically a 
package-bin.tar.gz will contain a binary archive while
a package.tar.gz might contain the source doe which will have to
be cmpiled.  There's no law that says a file HAS to have any 
particlular name at all. You could just as easily name your
archive files  widget.fab or ignatz.is.a.sadistic.mouse 
and the gunzip and tar programs would still work on them.
Of course, no one would know what they were except you , so following
naming conventions is a good thing to do :-)
