#_ hi everyone,
#_ 
#_ is it still possible to recover the files in a tar file if the tar
#_ displays:
#_ 
#_ "tar: Skipping to next file header"
#_ 
#_ after doing a tar xzvf tarfile.tgz?
#_ 
#_ I tarred my data into one very big tar file and I need to get the files
#_ now! is this file corrupted already and cannot be given a workaround?
#_ 
#_ thanks,

Try using Midnight Commander and see if MC can open the tarball as a virtual
filesysytem. (highlite the file and press enter, if it is a really big file
it might take some time).
