Hi Igor - I have had that problem too. On my Slackware system the "less" command is installed in such a way that it automatically shows the files contained in a tar archive. The first file listed will be a directory if the archive will be one that creates its own directory. If your "less" will not do that, you can always create a temporary directory and untar the thing in there. If it does create its own directory under your temporary one, you can just "mv" the thing to where you want it.
