DJGPP comes with a 'tar' file unpacker called DJTAR. If you have DJGPP
you can unpack a tar file like this:
djtar elisp-ma.tar
(I think this worked for me. I'm not sure - I've only downloaded one
tar file).
If you don't have DJGPP and don't want it, you can get djtar from
http://www.delorie.com and finding the zip where djtar is kept
(there are lists of all the DJGPP zipfile contents).
