[Newbies] CogSpur on a Mac

[Dan Norton]

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Sorry to not respond sooner, but the mac 
user only just now got back to me for a few minutes. Still no success, 
but we'll restart from the beginning on another day. We probably need 
some options because "uncompress CogSpur.tgz" resulted in:

overwrite Cogspur.tgz? y

uncompress: CogSpur.tgz.Z: No such file or directory

We'll try again with something like "uncompress -dkNl CogSpur.tgz" 
assuming mac options are same as Debian8, followed by "tar CogSpur.tar" (?)
