Comes to mind, maybe i should provide an untar method for my tui-tar? (old screenshot, filesize is now centered, and status (ok/bad) in color.
During the 2nd example i pressed enter a few times, to show the 'animation' on the screenshot.

Seems there is a need for it?
Any suggestions? (ideas how to display the 'output' (progress) of untar'ing? )
