Hi All,

This file
     betterbird-140.2.0.9.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

Extracts just fine with File Roller (I am writing
you on the extracted file).

But I can't seem to get the syntax correct with tar,
"x" or "j".  Supposedly it is an "x":

man tar refers you to "info tar":

‘--xz’
‘-J’
     Use ‘xz’ for compressing or decompressing the archives.
