    http://www.gzip.org/

    Apparently tar.gz is the gzip source code

      You don't state OS, but under Windows 7-Zip handles both tar and gzip (gz). Tar is a Unix/Linux archive file and gzip compresses this file.

      Add: I assume Windows, because under a Linux distribution the file would be handled automatically by the front end.

        Any of the major file compression programs will open it.

        WinZip: WinZip Official Site

        WinRAR: RAR Labs

        7-Zip: 7-Zip Home
