| Hello, everyone, I am very new at this so let me get to the point. I started playing muds only a short while back and being the creative person that I am I would like to start making my own. I have downloaded quite a bit of software, unfortunately, they are .tar files and I don't have the program to open them with. Could someone tell me what it is?

| I agree, most recent version of WinZip will open tar files. Also if you happen to use Cygwin (or are using Linux) you will find the program 'tar' supplied as part of the distribution. For instance, to extract an archive foo.tar, you would say:
tar -xvzf foo.tar
x = extract
v = verbose
z = unzip (assuming it is a compressed archive)
f = the next word is the file name
