Hello Jax.PM'ers :]

For those of us who have a newer, correctly installed Lynx,
here is a command I ran across recently (I had seen it before
but long ago forgot the correct syntax :|   Oh well...


To get a gzip'ed tar'ed file and auto-un-gzip and de-tar it, use:

lynx -dump -source http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-2.3BETA14.tgz |
gzip -d | tar xvf -

(That's one line there :)  The nmap package is an example.)

Enjoy!
