[Cialug] Can someone translate for me?

Can someone translate this *nix phrase into "instructional English"?  TIA.


*In the FooBar2.1 directory:*

**

1.  chmod 777 Foobar_42_X26LMAQ.tar

2.  tar –xvf Foobar_42_X26LMAQ.tar


Would the translation be something like:

1.  Copy the compressed Foobar file (*.tar) to the FooBar2.1 directory.
2.  Set the file permissions using the chmod 777 command.
3.  Extract the compressed contents of the Foobar file (*.tar) using the tar
-xvf command.

Again, thanks for the help.
