Your next question will probably be: How do I know?  You can use the
shell utility 'file'.  Here is kinda a little test so you can see the
different outputs:

[ted@davinci ted]$ tar -cvzf test.tar.gz splat.svg=20
splat.svg
[ted@davinci ted]$ file test.tar.gz=20
test.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Thu Oct 24
23:27:27 2002, os: Unix
[ted@davinci ted]$ gzip -d test.tar.gz=20
[ted@davinci ted]$ file test.tar=20
test.tar: GNU tar archive
[ted@davinci ted]$

Also, a great GUI tool for dealing with compressed files is File Roller
which is located at: http://fileroller.sourceforge.net/

		Have fun,
			Ted
