Copied and pasted individually, in order to remove messy lines in the
middle -- and inadvertantly placed out of order, above, and accidentally 
omitting the "c"-option step.  Correct command sequence of course was:

$ touch bar
$ tar cvjf foo.tar.bz2 bar
bar
$ ls -al foo.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 rick rick 114 2006-09-29 17:33 foo.tar.bz2
$ tar xvjf foo.tar.bz2
bar
$ cat /etc/debian_version
testing/unstable
$
