I eagerly FTP'ed to aql.gatech.edu to get the latest issue of Phrack only to find that it is compressed in a form that I can not uncompress.

was it gziped (*.z or *.gz ?)

I can manipulate .z, .Z, and .tar, but not .gz.

.z is .gz (rename it and it will work)

Is there any way for me to get an issue of Phrack-43 that I can read?

if you still can read I will uncompress it and email it to you? q: how much disk space does pgp take?
