Hello Managers

  I have a file like this in my home dir.
  -rw-r--r-- 1 ******* sysadmin 16374081 Jan 10 09:04 net-snmp-5.0.1-SunOS_5.8.tar.tar.

  Pl give me the magic commands to extract the package.
  Some one has suggested me to rename the file as tar.gz and then use gunzip and tar xvf as shown below which is not foolproof (I suspect).

  # mv net-snmp-5.0.1-SunOS_5.8.tar.tar net-snmp-5.0.1-SunOS_5.8.tar.gz
  # gunzip net-snmp-5.0.1-SunOS_5.8.tar.gz
  # tar xvf net-snmp-5.0.1-SunOS_5.8.tar
  I believe the above procedure it is not doing the right job.

  I just surfed and seen a suggestion to convert that tar.tar to tar.bz2 and then extract. I do not know how to do that.Really confusing and I need your help.Matter urgent for me.Thanks in advance.

  Rob
