body: <p>How can I extract extract a .depot file on HPUX?</p>
  
  <p>The <code>.depot</code> file is a tarred dir stucture, with some of the files gzipped under the same name as original.</p>
  
  <p>Note that my environment is quite limited - I can't have root, I don't have <code>swinstall</code>.</p>

  <p>At best, the solution should work on Linux too.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to <code>untar</code> and <code>gunzip -f -r -d -v --suffix= .</code>
  But the problem is that the gzipped files have no suffix, so in the end, gzip deletes them.</p>
