Download zlib.

http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

There is a directory "untgz" containing a C file for reading/extracting gzipped tarballs which uses zlib.

I don't know whether it works or not, however.

Java tar libraries?
Does anyone know of a java library for manipulating modern tar file formats (e.g., Posix.1 1988/2001, Gnu tar, etc.)? I tried using Apache's tar classes from the Ant project, but they don't support large (>8Gb) tar entries). Project time constraints are pushing me to look for an out-of-the-box solution. Thanks!
