Default Extracting .tars?
Can somebody please tell me how to extract .tars? I've tried google (Didn't help), I've looked through the right click menu on the .tar (Seeing how on XP you can extract .zips this way thought I'd give it a shot), and still nothing. I don't want to upload it into my server and use cPanel to extract it because I'm on dial up and it is almost a half a MB and won't upload for me. It would just timeout.

Thanks

You need to download a program like winrar or winzip to extract the tar file.

Why did you download a tar file anyway?

Oh, Thanks!

I had to download it as a tar because the java chat demo I wanted didn't come as a zip, only tar

Tar's are also some kind of compiled java file or something along that lines (read it in my Java book first chapter last week). You may not be able to extract them

Your Java book is wrong; they're JAR files (Java Archive), which are really zip files anyway.

Use 7-zip. It works for just about everything and is open source.

Well each to his own, but Java is one of the best languages (if not the absolute best) that I have ever used. But, if you're used to PHP and then go towards Java, then the shock sure would be night-and-day.
