Sorry - that was me typing it in wrong - it fell over at the -exec part not the -name part. Besides I've found a different way, in the meantime. Thanks for your time, though - very much appreciated. Also - can you NOT send vCards to this list as this was a netiquette request not too long ago.

Nope - didn't work using:
cat *.tar | tar xv
It only extracts the first archive!
And the solution by Panos didn't work neither:
find . '*.tar' -exec tar -xvf{}\;
Says missing argument after -exec no matter how I format the paramater!!
