    Please read the instruction manual you get with "man tar".
    GZip and Bzip2 are two different compression methods and programs.

    Yeah, it's in the manual, but in case you walk past the problem on your command line... j = bzip2 and z = gzip.

    And you probably need to specify either x for extract or c for create.
