I realise this, but as ".tgz" and ".tar.gz" are one and the same, I thought 
I could gunzip a ".tgz" file and be left with a ".tar" file.

The other thing is, if this version of gzip uses the same compression 
routine as the one I use under i386 Linux, then why do I get different 
filesizes when I compress a file under each ?

Thanks, I'll try that. Oh, how would I increase the stack size of a CLI 
program, it's not something I've had to do before.

Well it was just a thought, it is a couple of years old after all.
