    • ChilkatTar is a commercial component that you’d need to purchase, you can find it here:

    • 7-zip supports unpacking and packing TAR files and is free so you could probably execute the command line version of it from your app to do the packing/unpacking.
      It is also open-source, so you might even be able to copy the source into a library to use from your own application if you prefer, assuming that its license is compatible with your needs.
