Hello Ryan,
I'm reading your Google Web Toolkit book
and I downloaded the source codes
and when I tried to open the tar file in Ubuntu Linux,
it gave me error about the tar file.
For example, I tried to open
GWT1.5+-+Chapter+6+-+Desktop.tar

and I got following error:
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Please let me know how to get the source codes for Google Web Toolkit
book

Thanks,
Shamim

Try renaming the extension to .zip and use unzip. Google groups has an
issue with zip firles right now.

Thanks a lot. I renamed the files, removed the .tar and replaced
with .zip
and I can unzip and view the source codes now.
Thanks again.
