Re: How do i access a file with *.tar on the end?

[Patrick Lane <patrick m lane csun edu>]

tar -xvf filename.tar

this will extract the file. Tarballs are compressed data (similar to a 
zip file). I can't imagine any distribution not having tar so you 
shouldn't have to worry about getting the program.
