Maybe something like cat foo.tgz/gunzip In which case (of course) foo.tgz/gunzip has exactly the same directory contents as foo.tgz Looks different, that's all. In fact, for just about any syntax anyone could suggest, I can't really see why you can't just replace all weird symbols with a slash and a symbol. Instead of foo.tgz#utar you have foo.tgz/#/utar Only difference is, some things which used to require special tools can now be serviced by less than what's in busybox. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQTPNpngHNmZLgCUhAQJ0PA//RmPgHL4MgiQn7Li5b52DI/0p+Zp9JUs7 OaA+k4wHeXEIdBProtBQ+3541noEg086bVriYRnajsA9xgd/P9ncE7ci/d9Kagdl 8KmH4eWnCjNkL4x8GnDeR+EM5EfcgoSxR7ezO1KO9uMMcPFnCvmeB1yB5U+Fr9Q1 HVPHfGsh+ZWU2CFJHoJx27Q07UK+bFvzGr4JkhLbRMbPeEROrkHJHp3wj/N2yXXb 5icLgFa0g/b6wM8SuBAaO5xVM8jkmECI/P5Jo3n/d/CTUumb/BoKMIgbMurR61CG hrZ40mizpCMFAnLrgm9FIvjKtZUsigG+oM/2xTtku2Z2nSM16/ChKtJOAj6MoMGT xvWzLdTY6kEL30VDaHtcVvIyUFtUe5oYxEasnrcKseV7hJtccgjTYKB21PnWyZFz /KIdh8sBg6i1nuYOtHncL6agD1M2bg1vBYwbMvIRfa1YbAFUbW1A6hDTftxJIhLn Beso6d68SyfNMdQ8yWloR7sIufmbDut2fx1SHS3wPt2Z5W1e0XBexcpSqdD8KPns lvmC0ggPDuQzXjPCIsS17Uk5vrCtVEdrsCCaj62a8UE2d1mCqu4CyLwMYCFv3Sve SwZ36iOv4fzdvgjPOUg27tMwbpa/WiDAcZJ/31BfZfTDl4E9LbkQjWYT/YgsJuaQ wp3Hi/Cgh/4= =8YVp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
