Uncompressing a Linux file on HP-UX
Hi!! All,
I have a compressed C file made on Linux. On Linux I used to uncompress it using the command:

zcat filename -xvf- |tar

I am not able to uncompress the same on Hp-UX-10.2. Could someone help me out how to do it ?? Do I have to use any other command to uncompress it??

If you dont have zcat installed try:
uncompress filename ; tar xvf filename

Thanx PxT. I think I was using the wrong syntax of commands. I am succesful in doing it now by using:

zcat filename |tar -xvf -

In
HPUX we require to give a space between "-xvf" and "- ". That was something I didnt required to do on Linux. Smilie
