Quick question. Will WinZip open .tar format files. I have a connecter I downloaded from the Tyco website (58140.tar.gz) and can't open it. It's suppose to be a STEP file and it's archieve in a .tar format. We're currently using the standard windows zip progam.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Doesn't seem to work on both tests i did.
All,
We're leaning towards a program called WinRAR. It's cheap, no maintenance cost, and free updates.
Thanks for all your help,

I have opened a Gzipped tar file with Winzip. It took two steps. I used Winzip to UnGzip it. I loaded the uncompressed tar file separately into Winzip, and it unpacked fine. Winzip cannot (or could not) uncompress all in one step. I have not done this lately.
A tar file has the extension .tar.
A gnuzipped tar file has either of two extensions, .tar.gz, or .tgz.
