Minor point but this can be done in one step with
tar -xvjf filename.tar.bz2
or
tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz
see man tar

Thanks, the way I did it was a carry-over from what worked under SVR4
based systems (UnixWare 1.X and Solaris 2.6/7/8) without GNU tar. It may
have also worked on Digital Tru64 Unix 5.X. As it also worked on Linux I
kept unpacking tar balls the same way.
Regards,
Arthur.
