WinZip for Windows will also "untar" the files.  Make sure you check the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" box under the Options => Configuration => Miscellaneous tab.

Subject: MI Opening *.tar files

Another easy one?  How do we open *.tar files?  These are usually gzipped,
which we open with MacGzip.  We're using Macs but we also have a pc with
Windows 98.  I've found tar.exe and loaded it on to the pc but I can't
seem to make it open the *.tar files.  Any help is so much appreciated.
