Converter TAR.Z to ZIP

TAR.Z is a file format of the archived and compressed categories. This archive file belongs to the category of so-called tarballs. This designation indicates that several files are archived by tar, and then compressed by gzip. GNU's TAR archiver can use various command keys. In particular, the Z extension means that processing the archive of the specified format is done using GNU zip. The TAR.Z format is almost identical to archived and compressed files of the more common TAR.GZ format, however, they are now used mainly on older Unix systems.

ZIP is one of the most popular and common archive or compressed file formats. The full name is Zipped File and the original name is Compressed ZIP archive file. The ZIP extension, which is used to package or compress files, was developed back in 1989. Its creator was Phil Katz, founder of PKWARE Corporation. Initially, the format was used in the PKZIP program, but now there are many other utilities to work with ZIP files. The ZIP format uses a standard compression type for compression, in which all individual files in the archive are compressed separately.
