Hello all!

I hope this hasn't been covered too recently.  I have just returned 
from a long absence from the net.  I wandered through as many back
articals as we keep but I didn't see anything.

I have managed to (finally) secure a(n) (outdated by now) copy
of the GNU emacs source.  It is, however, in TarZ format.  


Just what IS a TarZ file anyhow?  Sorry if that sounds ignorant but I've
never seen one before.  I'm told it's a block-by-block  compression of 
tar output... I dunno.

I know how to use tar, I know how to use compress but this beast is a 
mystery to me!  How on earth can I get at the insides?

Thanks in advance.
