*.tar.gz.tar
Rename it to:
*.tar.gz
Ditto for *.tgz.tar. I've not ever seen *.tar.tar; it's likely you've made a typo. Uncompressed tar files put out for download are rare.

I realize this is hardly a FOP problem, but opening the gift-wrapping has this newbie stymied. I found the following message and reply in the archive, which describes my problem exactly, but no particular solution is offered. Can someone enlighten me?
Problem: I downloaded the latest FOP binary download (fop-0.20.5rc3a-bin.tar.tar) from the distribution site http://xml.apache.org/fop/download.htm. I dunno what a tar file is, but WinZip seems to think it can handle it, so I gather its a compressed distribution format. Winzip returns the error message "Error reading header after processing 0 entries". Same result with Winzip current 8.5 release and also their beta 9.0.
So how does one untar a tar? Is there a preferred tool? Or is the file damaged?

Sounds like your untar utility is confused. I remember that *very* old tars have incompatiblities with more modern tars, in particular GNU tar, which may result in this error message. Another possiblity is that it either missed uncompressing, or that uncompressing failed and the error message was dropped somehow. In either case, you can try with another toolset, or at least identify the toolset you are using.
