That's weird !!! Why is the Tar file bigger than the NON Tar ?? And
why is the Tar-thing not at the end of the filename ???

"archive" does not imply compressed. It's just a file containing multiple files...

a compressed version would be .tar.gz (TAR + gZIP)

Lets say i used macrar on my mac to compress some files, if i sent that .rar file to a pc, would they be able to uncompress it in winzip? This message was posted from a T300

You would need WinRAR

Slightly off topic but http://filext.com/ is good for looking up file extensions.
