Opening a .tar file
 

Can anyone tell me how to open a .tar file. (I am not talking about a file that ends with .tar.gz). Just plain .tar


Thanks,

:)

tar -xvf file.tar
tar -xjvf file.tar.bz2
tar -zxvf file.tar.gz

--or use a graphical compressed file manager, like file-roller to view contents without extracting
