  But completely free (not shareware evaluation) versions of 
gunzip.exe and tar.exe are available from a lot of places.  Suppose 
you got an archive superstuff.taz .  First you do a:
  
  gunzip superstuff.taz

which converts (uncompresses) and renames in place the file to
superstuff.tar .  Sometimes you have to copy gzip.exe to gunzip.exe
to get the expected behaviour - otherwise do a:

   gzip -d superstuff.taz

Then you do a:

   tar xvh -f superstuff.tar

do break apart the archive to subdirectories and files - starting from
the current default directory.  A good place to look for these UN*X 
like tools for Win95 and NT is:

  http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/mystuff.html

but there are a lot of other sites that have gzip.exe and tar.exe that 
work for Win95 or WinNT that cane be found with web search sites like 
Yahoo, Lycos, etc.
