.tab does not identify a file format. It might be in a read.csv format
or a read.fwf format.
No 7z decompressor seems to exist in CRAN, (I checked `findFn('7z')`.)
so you could use system/system2: `system2('7z', c('e', ...)), or I think
7z.exe on Windows. You would need to install p7zip and read the manual
(`man 7z` on a Unix-like system).
Please send an example.
