It is files simple joined together in to one. To retrieve the files, you use: tar xvf file_name This will remove the files from that archive, in to the current directory. Other common suffixes are ".Z" and ".zoo", the first is Unix compressed, you uncompress by simply using: uncompress file_name The "-e" option on the zoo utility on most Unix systems will remove and "unpack" any files in the archive...
