Subject: *.tar.Z unpack for VMS?

I've been poking around ajpo.sei.cmu.edu via ftp, and there's a lot of good
"stuff" I'd like to copy... unfortunately I'm on a DEC VMS host, and many of
the files are *.tar.Z format.  Does anyone know of a good utility that I can
use to unpack the tar files on VMS?  (Alternate question: Is there a reliable
source for the tar format so I can write my own unpacker in Ada? <grin>)

Please EMail info and requests, and I will forward/summarize responses.
