TAR on 3b1

I have the development set 3.51 installed... in many messages and so
forth on the net, I have seen the tar command invoked as:
zcat file.tar.Z | tar xvf -
whereby it doesn't require you to uncompress the file first before
extracting it's contents. Well, after many trials, I cannot seem
to get the 3b1 tar command to cooperate with this approach, and I
wonder if anyone out there has a solution to this issue.
I tried to get the GNU tar command to compile on this machine with
absolutely no luck, so that's out (unless someone else got lucky).
It's a real pain to have to uncompress LARGE files first in order
to extract the contents... if you know what I mean.
Thanks,
Forrie
