What does this have to do with Fortran?

On Windows, WinZip (and probably other programs) can open tar files -- there
are GUI and command line versions of this program. The contents of the tar
file may be binary files, not just regular text files.

see http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

get a copy of UnxUtils.zip & UnxUpdates.zip.

Along with tar, these archives contain various programs which create or
unpack various archives along with other functions common to *nix
systems.

Note that you may have to convert lf to cr/lf delimited text files. One
way of doing this is to read the file in with edit.exe and then save
it.

Sorry, not much to do with Fortran except that some source programs are
distributed in archives that this collection of files helps to unpack.
