If you only want to open the spkg files then just rename then to have an ending of tar.bz2 instead of spkg. Then 7 zip will be able to recognize the file. You will probably need to change some folder settings so that windows shows you the full filename. You may also try opening the spkg file from 7 zip directly without any renaming. It might work if7 zip is able to determine the file type from the file contents.

This is probably an extremely basic question, but I can't figure it out.

I got the Sage source code from a .tar file from the download link here: http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home...

I unpacked the tar file using 7-zip and got the directory containing some files, the .hg folder, and the spkg folder. I am told that .spkg is just a tar file, but I can't seem to open them up. Could someone walk me through the steps for Windows?

Thanks
