First of all, you should "man tar".

Then, i can help you out a bit.

To uncompress some .tar files, just use:
   tar -xf file.tar
To uncompress some .tar.gz or .tgz files, use:
   tar -zxf file.tar.gz(.tgz)
To compress into .tar files, use:
   tar -cf newfile.tar [files-or-directory]
To compress into .tar.gz files, use:
   tar -zcf newfile.tar.gz [files-or-directory]

Just change this for your purpose.

By the way, this is a question that might be directed to questions@ not to
docs@.

Have a nice day.
