Yes, I did know enough to edit ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc or 
/etc/bashrc but did not remember what to do, and it was not important 
enough to spend the time to figure it out.  The .login files are also 
relevant.

Again, I knew that much. It is the "something" and "something_else" 
which is important, also all the options.

I used to do a lot with AWK (then later NAWK), but have not had the need 
to do it on a regular basis. I actually have a book on how to learn 
PERL, but I simply have not had the time to look into it in any detail. 
Fishing and biking are MUCH higher priority for me.

I normally use:  tar cvf - {files} | gzip -9 > {tarfile}.tar.gz
to create the gzipped tar file and
gunzip -9c {tarfile}.tar.gz | tar. xvf -
to unzip and extract the files.

I am sure your way is just as good, but mine does work. However, I do 
not always remember it, especially if it has been several months since 
the last time.

I sometimes use Ark instead to do all of this.

Thanks for your advice, though.
