I just want to transfer the engine file and not the other ones (for accessories...and others). One idea is to read the archive file of each CS2 and to copy the file "locomotive.cs2" from one file to the other... The problem is that these archive files are under the TGZ extension created by linux. They can be read on a PC by WinZip for example. But WinZip does not allow to copy from one file to the other...! Then if you try to extract each archive and replace the locomotive.cs2 file, then impossible to re-compress to the TGZ format needed for the CS2...! Thank you in advance for your help, Francois.

Hi, Use 7z. A tgz file is nothing else that a tar.gz file... 1) build your tar file with 7z -> archive.tar is generated 2) gzip it still with 7z -> archive.tar.gz is generated 3) rename the .tar.gz into .tgz -> archive .tgz should work Cheers Fabrice
