or use a command like `tar zxvf openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz.tar` if your tar understands compression.
Tar is a old command so options can be specified many different ways. I generally leave out the '-' since it doesn't care. 'z' is form gzip compression, 'x' is for extract, 'v' is for verbose, 'f' says the next argument is the filename.

I'm running SUSE 8.1 on this particular machine. Of course I do not user tar for backup so I do not have a recent history of using it.
What obvious error I'm I making using tar?
