     I frequently download from Simtel and other anonymous ftp sites, and I
have found that many of them use the TAR compression program.  I have 
acquired the c files and compiled them to form the program, but  it seems to 
only work with tape drives.  I am trying to uncompress a file in my dir-
ectory on a mainframe into the same directory in the same mainframe, no tape
drives involved.  Any suggestions?
