Folks -
How do I uncompress / unzip these tar files.
I'm familiar with compress and tar, but I've never come across *.gz
files - is this a dos thing ? I know didly about dos (and only a little
bit more about UNIX !).
sphinx% ls -l
total 4962
drwxr-xr-x 3 morrowm sys_dep 512 Mar 31 21:44 dotfile-2.0
-rw------- 1 morrowm sys_dep 1860222 Mar 31 21:41 dotfile.tar
-rw------- 1 morrowm sys_dep 654716 Mar 31 22:55 dotfile.tar.gz

The system we use mounts our home directory from a server that doesn't
allow you to rlogin into it.
We then use a number of different machines for different applications.

I want to have a go at setting up fvwm2 (win95 lookalike) - I just use
mwm at the moment which is a bit old and ugly - and I've fallen at the
first hirdle !
Do I need to install anything - I'm just a bog standard Joe without any
root access.
Any suggestions on a good route for beginners ? There are a number of
websites out there - I don't know where to start.
Thanks,
Mick.

The Dotfile Generator requires Tcl/Tk, but don't let that scare
you, Tcl/Tk compiles on almost every
machine running X windows.
Note: that the Dotfile Generator requires at least Tcl 7.4 / Tk
4.0. Here's a link to the source files: Tcl 7.4
and Tk 4.0
And for Linux users, here's a precompiled set for X11R6 of Tcl7.5
and Tk 4.1
Download the Program
You may download the program from the main site in Denmark, Europe:
gzipped tar format (650Kb)
compressed tar format(1.1Mb)
