How do I open a TAR file? Open TAR files with BitZipper!

TAR files are a bit like the more well known ZIP files. They can contain one or more files bundled into one file to ease distribution, but they are not compressed to reduce the size like ZIP files are.

BitZipper will restore the files in your TAR file to their original format.

After installing BitZipper, you can open a TAR file simply by double-clicking it, by right-clicking on it in Windows Explorer, or by starting BitZipper and opening the TAR file the same way you open a document in your word processor. It really is very simple with the right tool.
