I can't see anything. Take a look.

$ tar

Interestingly enough, I went to the installation file to check to see if
I could manually unzip tar.exe to the /bin directory. After running
bunzip2 on the tar-1.16.1-1.tar.bz2, I opened the resulting
tar-1.16-1.tar file in winzip. I tried to extract the tar.exe file, and
it gave me a "Cannot copy file: Cannot read from the source file or
disk" error. This is in contrast to what happens when I manually
extract the rmt.exe file, which gives me no error. I can send you the 2
MB file if you want.
