convert file formats ?

amy

Can anyone tell me how to convert an xxx.tar.tar file into xxx.tar.gz format ?
thx

gzip is an archiving tool, it will compress the file, in this case, a .tar.

To do it in the command line, type quot;gzip lt;fileNamegt;quot;, there is certainly a graphical way to do it, but that is sure to work.

Googled and found this:-
from : localhost/worth a try!

You can not really say as the extension of the file does not have any relation with the content. I can call an openoffice document somedoc.tar.tar and it's still an openoffice document.
