I've not ever seen *.tar.tar; it's likely you've
made a typo.
He didn't make a typo, I downloaded the same file and it also had the
tar.tar extension. That server has a glitch in their pipeline somewhere.

Rename the file to *.tar.gz as opposed to *.tar.tar and then winzip will
able to guide you on your way to extracting the actual archive.

I realize this is hardly a FOP problem, but
On occasion, tar files I download have an extra tar appended to their
extension. I am not certain why. Nevertheless, when this happens, you
may see filenames like:
*.tar.gz.tar
Rename it to:
*.tar.gz
Ditto for *.tgz.tar. I've not ever seen *.tar.tar; it's likely you've

tar is actually a gzip format ( i see this has already been
answered ... )
i would have recommended using WinRAR, which seems to
have no probz with doubled .tar-extension.

Thank you all, that worked perfectly with winzip. The download site lists the
file as
.tar.gz, and I thought it odd that it downloaded as .tar.tar (yes, Ben, it is
so, and you
may add .tar.tar. to your list of possibles.) Well, live and learn, I shall
know better
next time.
Much obliged, Dave.
