GUI Tar is a wrapper application which acts as the front end to the tar, gzip, and bzip2 UNIX utilities. The operating system itself handles the complicated work, while GUI Tar provides a pleasant and easy method to interact with these system tools. GUI Tar is divided into two sections: Extractor and Compressor.

What's New:
Added support for 7-zip (.7z), Bzipped tar archives (.tbz), and UNIX compressed files (.Z).
Now available as a Universal Binary for both Intel and PPC Macs.
Updated Help system.
Full support for zip and bzip2 on earlier versions of Mac OS X.
New icons for 7z, bzip2, and tbz.
