Extract from a tar archive

  1. Select ``Tar...'' from the ``File'' menu.

  2. Enter the name of the tar archive into the field ``Archive''.

  3. Select the command button \framebox{\sf x~~extract} from the ``Tar commands''.

  4. If needed, use the file selection manager (to be called by \framebox{\sf more files...}) to select a folder where the extracted files should be written into. Otherwise they will be extracted into the same folder where the archive is in.

  5. If you do not want to extract the whole archive you can specify the files to be extracted in the field ``Filename'' and/or by use of the file selection manager.

  6. Click at \framebox{\sf OK}. Tar is started now and extracts the archive. Directory structures will be created as needed.
