' Untar a .tar archive.
Dim tar As New Chilkat.Tar

' within the TAR archive will be re-created rooted at this

' If any filepaths within the Tar archive are absolute,
' automatically make them relative by removing the first
' forward or backward slash.  This protects from untarring
' files to unexpected locations.
