Is "untar" an acceptable verb?

[Jeff Scattini <jeff -dot- scattini -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hi all,

I started a new contract a little while ago, and the software in question
can be delivered by TAR (.tgz) files.

Is the term "untar" acceptable the same way you can "unzip" a collection of
files? A quick search in Google seems to suggest that it is acceptable, but
I wanted to throw the question to a TARgeted (sorry) audience of techwr-lrs.

Thanks,
Jeff Scattini
