	It is in 'tar' form.  You need to "untar" it to see what it
	contains.  To do this, simply type:

% tar xvf a.tar 

	In the future, it might help when you seem something really
	funky to try this:

% apropos funky.thing  

	If your system is set up with it of course.  *8-)  If not, ask
	your System Administrator to set it up.
