I hope you're writing "tar" not "tat"

MORE INFO PLEASE!

Please, explain what happens when you type the above command.

tar -tzf <filename> should work
tar -tzvf <filename> gives additional info about each file.

You can also leave off the leading "-"

("tar tzvf <filename>" or "tar tzf <filename>")
