Opening a .tar or gz file (VMAP1)

Hi,
In downloading a section of VMAP1 data, I get a gz file (tar).  I have been
looking all over for ways to open this thing, and I can't seem to find one
that works.  Some sites say to open it directly, but when I try this I am
told it is an unrecognized format and am asked to select a program with
which to open it.  Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks,

BJ
