Damn, haven't noticed that you've posted the name of the archive. Try the "tar -xvf Lightning-Bolt.tar" as b34r sugested and ignore my previous post.

Guess you haven't noticed my "if is indeed an .tar.gz archive." change it's name from .tar.gz to .tcl then try edit it with an text editor and see what happens. If that fails then get it again from the web page you got it before.

first unzip it with "gunzip" then use "tar -xf"

type: gunzip (to unzip .gz files)

type: tar -zxvf eggdrop1.6.10.tar.gz (to extract from an eggdrop)

type: tar -xf (to extract a tar file)

x tells tar to extract
v tells tar to give verbose messages to the user
f tells tar to work on
z tells tar the files is still zipped

[note] some files seem to like being unzipped before the tar command is used.

Just unpack it with tar zxvf archive.tar.gz if is indeed an .tar.gz archive.
