Ok, I have a tar file. When you tzr tvzf , you have a list that shows something 
like :
....
......
export/usr1/thisdir/afile
export/usr1/thisdir/MYFILE
.....
......
....... (and so one ..)

and you want to extract ONLY MYFILE and you want it extracted
in the directory you are in and NOT the WHOLE tree
How do you do that ?
