Greetings. GNU tar 1.20 seems to have no trouble creating lzma-compressed files when specifying the -a option and a filename ending in .tlz or .tar.lzma. However, it doesn't recognize these extensions when extracting (with or without the -a option). However, extensions for gzip and bzip2 work as expected:
