[Cialug] Can someone translate for me?

1. Change the file permissions for the Foobar-42_X26LMAQ.tar file so that everyone can read, write, and execute the file: chmod 777 Foobar_42_X26LMAQ.tar
2. Decompress the Foobar-42_X26LMAQ.tar file: tar –xvf Foobar_42_X26LMAQ.tar

Can someone translate this *nix phrase into "instructional English"?  TIA. In the FooBar2.1 directory: 1.  chmod 777 Foobar_42_X26LMAQ.tar2.  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.
