Happy new year Phil and everyone else here.
Whilst I'm waiting for the 1.61 GBytes! of Xcode to download on my new macbook, I thought I'd mention
gzip -dc Image-ExifTool-#.##.tar.gz | tar -xf -
from your install instructions.
Couldn't you specify a less, I suppose arcane is the word I'm looking for,
tar -xzf Image-ExifTool-#.##.tar.gz
or isn't that as univeral as the gzip to tar pipe?

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I would really enjoy being able to use "tar -z" in the instructions, but I didn't do this purposefully because the -z option isn't available on some of the Sun systems that I use, while the gzip to tar pipe does work.
