newLisp IDE tgz Problem

I find that I can't open newlisp-ide-4.1.tgz with either WinZip 11.1 or an old version of WinRar. WinZip gives gives the message "Error reading header after processing 0 entries" and WinRar just seems to hang up doing nothing. I have re-downloaded and have tried opening in place. The problem persists. What might I be overlooking?

You can also try 7-Zip (free):

Or Total Commander (shareware), which can do it for you too:

Thank you. I installed 7Zip, and it unpacked the file just fine. In doing this I discovered the source of the 'problem'. The web page link indicates that the file type should be tgz, but the downloaded file actually has a tar exension. Renaming the extension to tgz allows WinZip to unpack the file. It would appear the the mighty WinZip is not as smart as 7Zip :-)
