Thank you!
And will they untar with `tar xzvf xxxx`?
man tar
-I, --use-compress-program=COMMAND
Filter data through COMMAND. It must accept the -d option, for
decompression. The argument can contain command line options.
man pigz
-d --decompress --uncompress
Decompress the compressed input.
tar xvf myfile.tgz -I pigz
Easy to test and show that "tar xf xxx.tgz" will also decompress and untar using
standard gzip.
