Once you've got the file uncompressed, you still have to untar it. For that, you might want to try a program called asphalt which is supposed to be a tar implementation which runs on VMS.

Look in the pub/vms directory. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu -OR- {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy "My karma ran over my dogma"
