The VMware image of Sage includes tar and bzip2. From within the Sage command line interface, you can go to a bash shell using sage: !bash Within that shell, you have access to tar and bzip2 in order to compress and uncompress using tar and bzip2. I don't have a VMware image of Sage running at the moment, but the essential ideas should be clear in this transcript. If not, please tell me.
