What is the graphical archiver program?

It was on the menu in KDE, but now I switched to Enlightenment, and I don't know what it was.

Also, gunzip is giving me an error message saying that it doesn't recognize the .tar suffix. Any ideas?

Thanks

The archiver program you refer to may be ark? Just type in that command in a shell.

As for gunzip not recognizing the .tar extention, that's completely normal. A *.tar file is not compressed, just packed.
Use tar xvf <filename> on those to unpack them.
When the .tar file is compressed, it will have either the .tar.gz or .tgz extention.
Unpack those with tar zxvf <filename> (oneshot), or gunzip <filename> followed by tar xvf <filename>.

Cheers :)
