My first blog, so it's my first thoughts I guess. Well not a lot to say at the moment. I am trying to work on some sort of new operating system thingy. I was searching round and found LFS (Linux From Strach). Looks good I thought - good place to start, looking at someone else's examples, so I downloaded it.
That's when (being a Windows XP user) I hit the first block - it's a tar file. XP doesn't have anything to natively extract tar files, and WinZip and event 7Zip require installation and the such. Couldn't be bothered with that, so here ya go: a simple to use .tar file extracter.
I knocked it up quickly in Visual Studio 2005 - so you'll need the .Net 2.0 framework. I haven't done an installation program, as that just wastes space for most people (well, the sort of people who'll be trying to extract .tar files anyway).
As I did it quickly there might be a few odd bugs - if there let me know in the comments for now.
I personally added it to my 'Send To' list.
