[PD] Plugin~ object!

[Rory Walsh]

Ok, whenever I try to gunzip the file it says error
'unexpected end of file'? I ran the file "----"
command and it says its a standard gzip file?, any
more ideas? I have tried with both of the files
available formt the ftp page. thanks again,

ROry.




Some browsers do an on-the-fly decompression of *.gz
files. Check if 
that 
has happend with the "file" command under linux:

  --- shell commands ---
  $ file plugin~-0.2.tar.gz 
  plugin~-0.2.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, deflated,
last modified: 
Thu Apr  5 07:59:27 2001, max compression, os: Unix
  
  $ gunzip plugin~-0.2.tar.gz
  
  $ file plugin~-0.2.tar    
  plugin~-0.2.tar: tar archive
  --- shell commands end ---

If you have a tar archive called plugin~-0.2.tar.gz,
that in fact isn't
compressed, you will get this error if you try to
unpack it with tar's 
z-option:

  --- shell commands ---
  $ mv plugin~-0.2.tar plugin~-0.2.tar.gz
  $ tar tzvf plugin~-0.2.tar.gz
  
  gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
  tar: Child returned status 1
  tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
  --- shell commands end ---

But tar without "z" should work then:

  --- shell commands ---
  $ tar tvf plugin~-0.2.tar.gz
  -rw-r--r-- 10552/10552   14274 2001-04-05 07:59:24 
plugin~-0.2/Makefile.in
  -rw-r--r-- 10552/10552    6409 2001-04-05 07:56:18
plugin~-0.2/README
  -rw-r--r-- 10552/10552      32 2001-03-05 22:12:36 
plugin~-0.2/AUTHORS
  [...]
  --- shell commands end ---

HTO,
