Sorry, but didn't I told you just that? To do:<br />
<br />
unzip ogg112101_fbo_ggs_Linux_x8<wbr />6_ora11g_3<wbr />2bit.zip<br />
<br />
first, then use TAR command?<br />
<br />
I am glad we helped you, and I do not want to dramatize, but next time you should spread the points in a bit more fair manner ;)
