Untar For Mac

In the "old days" of UNIX, compressing/uncompressing and archiving/unarchiving files involved cryptic commands such as tar -xvf somefile.tar.

However, since those days, the masses have come to use computers, and they expect an easy to use system with graphical elements and interaction.

The days of the command-line interface are distant, and expecting the average user to resort to those older methods is normally out of the question. This is where Untar steps in.

Untar is a wrapper application which acts as the front end to a variety of UNIX utilities, such as tar, gzip, bzip2, rar, and zip.

Untar is able to uncompress files in .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.z, .z, .gz, .svgz .Z, .tar.Z, .taz, .tar.bz, .tar.bz2, .tbz, .tbz2, .bz, .bz2, .rar, and .zip formats. Source code and project are included.

Requirements:

￭ RAM: 9 MB ￭ Disk space: 3 MB
