there is no man page for tar included in suse (its uniantained and old and
out of date??).
I think we've been through this.

Isn't anybody aware of the tar manpages?
man tar
gives you everything you need.

perhaps you meant f instead of h:
tar xvf oss*
also, you could have decompressed it with tar (with z).
What gives with SuSE? Is ther some secret? Information in the 6.3 manual is nonexistant.
here are the keys you seek:
tar --help | less info tar
