tar tzvf file.tgz |more
(To make sure it isn't going to dump lots of files in the current
directory, or wipe out stuff in an already existing subdirectory...)

then once you are happy.   cd to where you want to unpack..

tar xzvf ~/file.tgz

A tgz file is just a tar archive that has been compressed with gzip.


PS: gmc should be able to open them if you are using gnome..
