ratz -- read a tar gzip archive from the standard input

ratz extracts files and directories from a tar gzip archive on the standard 
input. It is a standalone program for systems that do not have pax, tar or 
gunzip. Only regular files and directories are extracted; all other file types 
are ignored. 
*.exe files generated by sear are fully functional ratz executables, so any 
ratz option may be used on a sear file. 
This allows sear file contents to be examined and extracted without executing 
any embedded installation scripts.


Usage:

ratz [-clmntvV] < input.tgz

Options:

 -? - help

 -c - cat|uncompress
      Uncompress the standard input and copy it to the standard output.

 -l - local
      Reject files that traverse outside the current directory.

 -m - meter
      Display a one line text meter showing archive read progress.

 -n - convert
      In EBCDIC environments convert text archive members from ASCII to 
      the native EBCDIC.

 -t - list
      List each file path on the standard output but do not extract.
 
 -v - verbose
      List each file path on the standard output as it is extracted.

 -V - Version
      Print the program version and exit.

Example:

Extract *.tgz file from standard input to the current directory
	ratz < file.tgz

Compilation:

with EMX 0.9d Runtime (GCC 2.8.1)
