gunzip -f filename.gzThis produces a bunch of .DDF files, which must then be Fetched to an appropriately-named folder on the Mac desktop, then moved to an appropriate network drive (Miley or whatever)
tar -xf filename
Any of the utilities (WinZip, PentaZip, etc.) will handle the .gz and produce a file with a name ending in _tar. If one then renames the file as .tar and then runs the EXTRACT function on that, the tar'd files are revealed. So all that stuff about Liberty and the Mac turns out to be unnecessary.The problem of running the Raster-to-Grid conversion in the lab setting still remains.
