how to put a .gz file in already existing archive folder
Hi..

I have a folder within which I have two files :

abc.gz and xyz.tar.gz

Actualy abc was a 8 GB File and while zipping other files in xyz.tar.gz it could not be zipped due to its large size..
I have zipped abc using -E option of tar.

Can someone help to put abc.gz in xyz.tar.gz..
I dont want to unzip the zipped files and try again.Smilie


Thanks
