when I come across a .tar file I click on it expecting my unzipper to de tarball

- so to speak.

Is it possible for .tar files to be linked with tkzip by default ie on start?

right click a tar file, click Set Run Action, type in: TkZip "$@"

Puppy can be set up this way if it isn't
it should also open tgz files

Thanks as always G2

I was so proud when I figured out how to use tkzip but using dotpups - well I guess we expect automation . . .

on another matter:

One of the reasons my background keeps dissapearing seems to be connected to the resolution I am using - because the background dissapears and becomes white when jumping to 1280 x 1024 - I think therefore a solution is possible but not sure what . . .

I very much decided that I would not be saving my pup001 (where Puppy saves config and data) until the release of MS Puppy (I mean of course Multi session not Macrotheft) but who knows

For the first time I will not have to back up because my OS will be the back up. I must now apologise for shouting . . .

KEWL Cool

Yep kewl

There are many aspects of Puppy I enjoy. I enjoy the dotpups immensely. The new puplet distros are wonderful. The wiki is doing well, with many new voices and IRC becomes quite vocal at times (I get thrown a fish occasionally)

I notice that Barry has kindly included Gambas as a package and this gives a new toy to play with and look forward to.

Now I must think of a Puppy slogan . . .
mmm . . .

Puppy
"Hello little fella"

"Puppy Works"

"Be kind with Puppy"

Puppy
"Pet Linux"

Puppy
"Be Happy"
