tar.gz ?
I am trying to open a zipped file, the file extension seems to be 'tar.gz' and I can't seem to be able to open it with Winzip?

That's usually a file I run across when I am using Linux.

donnu, if you could give us the file, we may try?

anyway, i used Quick Zip for a while, it's quite good, can open a lot of files, but the newest version has some bugs

I never used Winzip with a .tar, how does that work? I always immediately use WinRAR. (Good program BTW).
