Workstation rh8, with  only 1 gb free space.  Contains a big x.tar.gz 
backup file. If unpacking it with '#tar xfvz' it will exceed the disk 
space. 

Is there a way I can unpack only one document of  x.tar.gz?  Like, I 
know the file is named z.doc and is compressed inside  the x.tar.gz 
archive, what are the commands to use?
