Open TAR files on Mac

A .tar file is a Unix tape archive. That's what the extension tar comes from. It's a specification that was written long ago for archiving multiple files on magnetic tape. It includes headers that give information about the files in the archive, as well as the files themselves. Although designed in the days when computers stored data on magnetic tape, the format and structure can be used to create archives in any type of file.
