Not really. If you use tar for decompression (and not 7za) it will
automatically "pipe" the output of tar to appropriate decompression
program. DJGPP ports of GNU tar should have this option too, but I
think this will work much better under native Linux (actually any
modern Unix with a recent version of GNU or BSD tar).

Just type 'tar -xf archive.tar.xz' and you're ok. Of course, you will
need to have gzip, bzip2 or xz installed (Should be installed by
default in puppy. DOS ports are available from DJGGP file repository). 

Bojan.
