As i am attempting to modify an iWeb 08 theme I'm trying to tweak the blog.xml file which is located in the blog.xml.gz package.
I can extract it by double clicking on it and then how to I pack it back?

Oooo! Well I never messed arround with .gz pakages I do reamember that it was easier to creat a tar.gz file?
Anyway I think this will help you out alot more Compress Files for Mac OS X - Easy-to-use tool for compress, archive, encrypt files and omit Mac-specific invisible files. it does all other types too, good luck.

gunzip (to get it out) and gzip (to put it back in) at the command line.

Be aware that with the default settings, the gzip and gunzip commands delete the original file when they are done compressing/decompressing it.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
