.trz is a new one on me. .tgz is short for "tarred-gzipped".

Try

uncompress <file | tar -tf -

and

zcat file | tar -tf -

and see which prints something sensible.

You could first try

Code:
file filename.trz

This should tell you if its any commonly recognised compression format. If it simply is a unusually named gzipped (or compressed) tar file then the following should work:
Code:
# With GNU tar
tar ztvf filename.trz
# Without GNU tar
gunzip -c filename.trz | tar tvf -
