Hello,

Thanks for the answer. All I was trying to do was update the file within 
the archive. I wound up deleting the original archive and re-creating it 
with Archive Manager, which works, but it would be nice if I could 
simply re-add the file to the archive like I've been doing with archives 
that end in .zip. With those I just click the Add button in Archive 
Manager and select the updated file, and it updates the file within the 
.zip.

It seems like shameful complication to have to re-create a .gz archive 
every time I want to update the file within it. Is there a smarter 
Archive Manager available for Ubuntu that can handle updating a file 
without re-creating the archive?

Later, Ray Parrish
