Our PC/TCP product has a TAR.EXE which can assemble and disassemble
Unix-compatible tar files either locally or over the network.  Sun's
PC_NFS also has a network TAR.  If you want to "uncompress" a Unix
.tar.Z file (made by piping 'tar' into 'compress'), you'll have to
use 'uncompress' on the Unix system first.
