| Description | 
 Contains multiple files stored as one archive; created with the Unix tar program; TAR files are not automatically compressed, so they are often compressed with Gnu Zip (which creates a .GZ file). A filename that ends in ".tar.gz" is a TAR archive that has been compressed with Gnu Zip compression; sometimes the shortened .TGZ extension is used as well.  |
