Hey. I got screader 1.8. Can I extract the screader-1.8.bin.tar.gz by doing
a tar -zxf screader-1.8.bin.tar.gz? Or should I do a tar zxvf
screader-1.8.bin.tar.gz? If both these commands are wrong, please correct
me! Thanks!

Either command will work. The -v flag causes tar to be verbose and list
the files that it extracts.
Run tar --help or look at the manpage (ie, man tar) for more
information. It is standard for Unix programs to have manpages that list
these options, and gnu programs typically display a list of options that
they accept if given --help.
And I appologize for boring you if you knew all of that already.

If you're an oister, then don't let your perl get away from you.

I usually do :
gunzip file.tgz #replaces .tgz or tar.gz with .tar
tar xvf file.tar

file names are just a convention. typically a
package-bin.tar.gz will contain a binary archive while
a package.tar.gz might contain the source doe which will have to
be cmpiled. There's no law that says a file HAS to have any
particlular name at all. You could just as easily name your
archive files widget.fab or ignatz.is.a.sadistic.mouse
and the gunzip and tar programs would still work on them.
Of course, no one would know what they were except you , so following
naming conventions is a good thing to do :-)

Yes. THe bin means nothing as far as tar or gzip are concerned; the
author of screader merely added it on to make it clear that the tar
contains a binary, rather than source code.

I apologize if you think I am asking the same thing twice. But bin.tar.gz
files are the same as tar.gz files right?
