Do what? Well I went to zdo.com and downloaded the file. It does not want to unzip! The only thing that I could think of that might be causing the problem is the permissions. As such I changed them to 770 yet that had no effect on the outcome. I'm going to show you all what I did in the hopes that I am just doing something stupid that can be easily corrected. :)~MIKE~(: root@bmike1:/mnt/sda6/timekeeper# chmod 770 * root@bmike1:/mnt/sda6/timekeeper# ls -l total 3 -rwxrwx--- 1 bmike1 bmike1 2099 Aug 10 15:42 nist-2.1.12.tar.gz root@bmike1:/mnt/sda6/timekeeper# su bmike1 bmike1@bmike1:/mnt/sda6/timekeeper$ tar -xvf * tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors bmike1@bmike1:/mnt/sda6/timekeeper$ tar -xvf n* tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors bmike1@bmike1:/mnt/sda6/timekeeper$ On Sunday 10 August 2003 06:36 am, Ed Skinner wrote: > I use "nist.pl" (from http://www.zdo.com/, originally found via > freshmeat.net).
