[root@localhost data]# tar xvzf a.zip
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Because it's not a tar archive. It's a zip file. Zip and unzip exist under linux. There's probably an rpm on your disc somewhere. If not search for it in google or rpmseek.
