.gz File Extensions
I'm not entirely sure I should put this in this part of the forum but maybe.
I'm getting to the point where I want to do more graphical things with C++ (game dev) and I want to use the Blitz++ lib. I downloaded the file and it's in a .tar.gz format. I've been trying to find something to open it but all the sites look VERY bogus and I thought I'd come to a real site to get some info on it.
Free would be nice. ;]

.tar.gz looks to me is classic Unix programs.
You need
gunzip abc.tar.gz <- this will give abc.tar
tar xvf abc.tar <- this will "explode" all files out
or combine them into gunzip abc.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Some ppl use other options but for me I usually use xvf for tar command.

Modern tar can handle gz
tar xzvf abc.tar.gz
If you are on Windows, you need bsdtar
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Utilities/basic%20bsdtar/basic-bsdtar-2.8.3-1/
or one of the complete archiving solutions like 7zip.
