Does anyone have a gui program for manipulating .Tar files? WinRAR and Winzip will open them but it cannot edit them. Let me know.
I have a dos based version of the GNUTar but it sucks.

Linux can suck my wad. I only need it for Cisco .tar images. Other than that, I don’t want anything to do with “Nix”…

I did a
tar --help
and there is a crapload of options.
the -c which is to create a new archive kept telling me about my file being bad.
If you have the correct syntax, lay it on me, bro…
