Michael Harris (~mbh2097) contacted us having problems extracting files
from our site.

You've probably noticed that we've started moving away from GZIP and
TAR, which although portable are quite as well known as PKZIP.   (We'd
welcome your feedback on this - which format is most prefered by you
guys ?)

Anyway, under MS Windows we recommend WINZIP, but if you want to extract
files by command line the answer is:

	gunzip archivename.tar		# Decompresses archive
	tar xvf archivename.tar		#  Extracts files from (now decompressed
archive)
