[Techtalk] decompressing tar.bz2 files

[Doc Nielsen]

to sum up:

to extract a tar.gz or tgz you use:   tar vxzf filename.tar.gz
to extract a tar.bz2 or tbz you use: tar zxjf filename.tar.bz2

to create a tar.gz or tgz you use:   tar cvzf filename.tar.gz folder/file
to create a tar.bz2 og tbz you use: tar cvjf filename.tar.bz2 folder/file

"folder/file" is an exisiting file or folder that you want "zipped" :o)
