bzip2 -dc /var/tmp/archive.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

I'm surprised you guys hate GNU so much though.

Hey, if GNU was of high quality and held itself strictly to standards and 
specifications, I would be the first to love it and advocate it!

But when you have a bunch of people hacking away at it thinking that they 
understand UNIX and corresponding problems when they really don't,
then the result is "GNU is not UNIX".
