After using gunzip to extract a tar file from a tar.gz
archive, how does one use tar, in the command prompt,
to un-tar the file, thereby creating a fully extracted
program directory ready to be compiled and run? I
thought perhaps it was "tar -x archive.tar", but
apparently that does not work. thanks.
