Just as "z" means "use gzip", there is "j" that means "use bzip2".
BTW do you nkow that "x" is "extract", "t" is "test" (i.e. print to 
screen every file extracted), "f" is "file" (i.e. following parameters 
is the filename to extract from)
xzvf is not a magic mantra word 0=)

This and other in the almighty "man tar" =)
