Does this syntax for tar actually work? What version of tar are you
using? When I try it I get:
jcunning@bigbear:~ > tar -zft fc-v2.0.tgz
tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
Try `tar --help' for more information.
but
tar zft fc-v2.0.tgz
works fine.
BTW, it appears that the usage warning is out of date, because it implies
that the "-" is required. The command "tar --version" gives me
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.18
