I ftped everything under the 2.0-RELEASE directory and have a 145MB 
file named 2.0-RELEASE.tar.gz (I used the tar and gz options when I ftped).

What do I do next?  can I just untar the file and tar it back to tape
or do I need to cpio it to tape?  What files and/or directories do I move
to the tape? Can someone please direct me inthe right direction?

Thanx in advance.

Tim
