[TUHS] Quasijarus.Z problem

[TUHS] Quasijarus.Z problem

[Wesley Parish]

I downloaded the two Quasijarus distros, and tried " tar zxvf *.tar.Z ", and 
nothing happened.

I was under the impression that gzip (both standalone and included in tar) 
knew how to handle compress files.  Apparently not.

My system's Mandrake 9.2, tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25.  Is there some incantation 
I'm not doing?  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Not sure which two do you mean, but keep in mind that the current release is
4.3BSD-Quasijarus0c, and that Warren's archive is no longer the main
distribution site for 4.3BSD-Quasijarus and is not up to date.  The main
distribution site for 4.3BSD-Quasijarus is ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG.

Use real compress, get it from

ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG:/pub/UNIX/components/compress.tar

I'm using compress -s mode, which produces the same strong compression ratio as
gzip (stronger than original compress), but without the politically unacceptable
letter 'g'.

I just updated the SIMH installation tape and pre-installed disk images to
Quasijarus0c. See www.itsecuritygeek.com, Downloads, Retrocomputing.

I've just started downloading the Quasijarus0c disk image and the tape install 
file; I'd been using the tribug.org site, and that only has the Quasijarus0 
and Quasijarus0a distributions.

Thanks to all who offered me assistance and pointers.  I appreciate it 
greatly.
