Title Uncompressing the .tar.F format
Ref. No. QNX.000001270
Category(ies) Utilities
Issue How do we uncompress the file.tar.F format?


Solution To uncompress the frozen file.tar.F use the melt utility:
melt - uncompress frozen files (UNIX)
which is equivalent to "freeze -d"

"melt file.tar.F" would yield the file file.tar

To unarchive the file.tar file use the tar utility(or pax):

"tar -xvf file.tar"
