Per
Winzip 8.1's help file
'TAR
stands for “Tape ARchive”. The TAR format does not provide compression; it
is used only to group files.
Its
mostly used in the Linux world. I used to have an un-user friendly program to
extract .TAR files but I can't remember where I found it or what it was called.
However, since its in .TAR format I really doubt it would work in
Windows.
Hey!
Here's a copy protection scheme for you. Put all your images into a .TAR file!
Then Windows users won't be able to extract them and copy them. Sure users of
other operating systems could but only Windows people are slimy, unscrupulous
bastards. Just look at the system symbols. Mac has a fresh, natural apple and
Linux a cuddly penguin. What does Windows have? A window. A device that lets you
keep the world at bay while allowing you to watch it through one eye from
behind thick curtains in a darkened room. What's that all about
anyway?
