Glad it's not just me that's having trouble opening the .tar files.

I didn't think there was any configuration to do in Winzip... I've just had another look and can't see anything obviously useful. If you can be more specific, that would be appreciated!

I keep getting an "invalid archive directory" error., which may be the result of:
  • The archive file does not exist or is in use by another program.
  • The specified folder does not exist.
  • The file is not an archive.
  • The archive has been damaged or corrupted.
  • There were disk errors or insufficient memory while reading the archive.
  • The archive contains invalid or illegal filenames.
If anyone has success opening the .tar files of the spectra I'd appreciate some tips on what you did....

Al.
