Re: File types help needed
No, the file is not given the extension .tar. It just appears so. Windows hides extensions in a silly way. The extension .gz is hidden but leave .tar there so giving you the wrong impression that it has been renamed (probably because Windows does not expect multiple extensions like .tar.gz).

You may put the file on the floppy, which is presumably formatted with the FAT filesystem. Linux can read FAT filesystems, so can read the floppy. But make sure you can mount the floppy drive on Linux.

You may even write the file to your Windows partition and linux can read it.

volrmmount

volrmmount(1)							   User Commands						     volrmmount(1)

NAME

       volrmmount - call rmmount to mount or unmount media

SYNOPSIS

       volrmmount [-i | -e] [name | nickname]

       volrmmount [-d]

DESCRIPTION

       The volrmmount utility calls rmmount(1M) to, in effect, simulate an insertion (-i) or an ejection (-e). Simulating an insertion often means
       that rmmount will mount the media. Conversely, simulating an ejection often means that rmmount  will  unmount  the  media.  However,  these
       actions can vary depending on the rmmount configuration and media type.

       For example, using default settings, if you insert a music CD, it might not be mounted. However, you can configure rmmount so that it calls
       workman whenever a music CD is inserted.

       This command allows you to override volume management's usual handling of media (see EXAMPLES below).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -i    Simulates an insertion of the specified media by calling rmmount.

       -e    Simulates an ejection of the specified media by calling rmmount.

       -d    Displays the name of the default device for volrmmount to handle. This device is used if no name or nickname is supplied.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       name	   The name that volume management recognizes as the device's name.

       nickname    A shortened version of the device's name. Following is the list of recognized nicknames:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |	 Nickname	     |		  Path		   |

       |rmdisk0 		     |/dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ/label	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Using the volrmmount command

       When volume management finds a floppy that contains a filesystem, it calls rmmount to mount it. If you wish to run  tar(1)  or  cpio(1)	on
       that floppy, it must first be unmounted. To unmount the floppy use:

	 example% volrmmount -e floppy0

       After volrmmount unmounts the floppy, if you wish to re-mount it (rather than ejecting it and reinserting it) use:

	 example% volrmmount -i floppy0

       Notice that if you are using a named floppy, you can use its name in place of floppy0.

FILES

       /dev/volctl    volume management control port
