Gunzip and "untar"

Sick of downloading filename.tar.gz and having to deal with it?

In my .cshrc file I put (with no line breaks):

alias guntar 'gunzip -c \!* | tar -xvf -;/usr/bin/rm \!*'

Then at the csh prompt I can just do:

$ guntar filename.tar.gz

Thanks Harvey!

N.B: the last bit, ;/usr/bin/rm \!*, deletes the original *.tar.gz file.
