I'm very sorry, this is my fault.  I recently updated these instructions,
and made a typo.  Thanks for reporting the problem.

The command should be:

  gunzip -c file |tar xvf -

or, some newer tar programs can do it all for you:

  tar zxvf file

(actually, try this one first, it's easier).

I'll change the web page immediately.

Again, sorry and thanks.
