TAR in het kort

TAR

tar predates many modern archive formats and became deeply embedded in Unix administration, software distribution, and source/package workflows.

TAR.Z in het kort

TAR.Z

POSIX still documents compress as the utility that produces .Z files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding, which places tar.Z squarely in classic Unix tooling history.
