I understand the historic reason SLS initial had *.tpz by mistake.

Is it possible to change to *.tgz where t is for tar and gz is for gzip ?

This is not my idea, but comes from gnu.misc.discuss [several weeks ago].

I assumed lots [not most] linux users with Internet access also read
gnu stuff --- Linux being based on Gnu stuff vice BSD.
