Chris,
I believe the command you seek is:
tar xvf archive.tar
You can always check out "man tar" to see the meaning behind the command
line switches.

Subject: tar question
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.
