Well, I wasn't interest in playing potential versionitis games....

So I chose to download the unxutils, and here is its analysis of 
gunzip'd file built by M::B.

D:\GFfP>tar_unxutils tvf gffp-0.1.tar

or you can email me (off list) the

===========================
Like almost everyone, I receive a lot of spam every day, much of it
offering to help me get out of debt or get rich quick.  It's ridiculous.
-- Bill Gates

And here is why it is ridiculous:
  The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26 
  billion on revenue of $2.81 billion.
  --from Reuters via 
http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/031113/tech_microsoft_msn_1.html

So that's profit of over 400% of investment... with a bit more 
investment in Windows technology, particularly in the area of 
reliability, the profit percentage might go down, but so might the bugs 
and security problems?  Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff. 
WalMart earnings are 3.4% of investment.
