What is the name of your tar ball? A normal tar-file should be named something 
like xxxx.tar

My Star Office 5.0 is SO50_01.tar and I untar it with tar -xvf SO50_01.tar

Hope this help!

Hi folks,
I've downloaded Star Office and I'm trying to load it but having no 
success.  It a tar file and I'm typing tar -xv <filename>.tr, when I then

doing wrong?
