I have put grx-2.3.1.tar.gz in  \djgpp\contribs  (the name dos gives it is
grx-23~1.gz)
and tried to extract files using dos programs  gzip etc,  I get lots of
lines of output
on screen and error messages but no files extracted.
So I booted my machine to Linux and managed to get grx-2.3.1.tar ok,
when I use   ls -al   command I see:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 4966400 Jan27...   grx-2.3.1.tar
then when I use      tar -xvf  grx-2.3.1.tar   I get lots of output such as:
tar grx-2.3.1/addons/bmp/bmp.c: Cannot chown to uid 500 gid 100: Operation
not permitted
I am running this as root.  What is the problem with ownership?
How do I get the files?
