Opening a .tar.gz file with a single command

Question

When I download a .tar.gz file, I open it with two commands, first gunzip and then tar.

Is it possible to open it with just one command?

Answer 1

On Windows Try the tartool utility http://tartool.codeplex.com/

Its free and the code is open source and uses SharpZipLib library.
