I tried a majority of the formats (gzip, etc.) to extract a zip file with `tar`, and when I became frustrated enough to Google for it, I found no way to extract a zip file with `tar` and only recommendations to use `zip` or `unzip`. As a matter of fact, my Linux system doesn't even have a `zip` utility, but only `unzip` (leaving me to wonder why this is the main recommended option). Of course `unzip` worked, solving my problem, but why can't `tar` extract zip files? Perhaps I should instead be asking, what is the difference between the compression methods supported by `tar` and zip?
