Hello. The default PmWiki installation doesn't accept *.tar archives, but you
can use either *.tgz or *.tar.gz format. (Normally, you can just do in a
terminal `gzip yourfile.tar` to compact it.)
However, some users may be unable to open such archives without installing
additional software. It may be better to use the *.zip format which is
supported almost everywhere.
Thanks,
Petko
