I've tried WinZip (says "Error reading header after processing 0 entries.") and Untar.exe 1.14 (says "File not found" when in fact said file is located in the current directory).  I've tried renaming the archive as *.tar.tar, *.tar, *.tar.gz and *.gz to no avail.  I'm running WinXP in VMWare Fusion, and trying to unpack GCC 2009q1-203 .

I know for sure that WinZip can not do it, and that the Cygwin tar /
bzip2 can.  There's probably also msys versions that work.

The file we ship is a .tar.bz2 file, if I remember correctly; it's
possible your web browser stripped the .bz2 extension.
