TAZ files are TAR zipped files or UNIX TAR archives that are compressed via UNIX compression algorithm. TAZ files are used to archive file groups used in UNIX systems and they mainly deal with TAR files and Z files. When UNIX starts to compress TAR files into one archive, these zipped and compressed files now use the TAZ file extension. Users can extract TAZ files if they decompress these files first and then extract the archive. Typing commands such as “cat filename.taz| zcat| tar xvf” can also be used to extract TAZ files. TAZ is actually short for TAR.Z since it deals with TAR files so much. This is why it a bit similar with TAR files. TAZ files also have a header block on each file containing unaltered information of the file written in ASCII. Two consecutive blocks filled with zero marks the end part of these files. TZ file extension can also be used by TAR zipped files.how to open a .taz file?

Be careful not to rename the extension on .taz files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .taz. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
