To use such a file you must have a *NIX system that has both gunzip and tar. First, type "gunzip name.tar.gz" This will unzip the file. Next type "tar -xvf name.tar" This will untar the file and spread the separate files out etc. E-mail me personally if you have further questions about this since it isn't really a Circle topic.
