For Mac OS X, what programs are available to make and decode tar archives?

Tar is a Unix-based protocol which was originally used for manipulating tape archives, but is now commonly used for making archives in other environments, including Mac OS X. The command line tar program is available from the Terminal; for more information, see In Unix, what is tar, and how do I use it? Also, the Archive Utility, which is built into OS X, will allow you to decode most tar files by double-clicking them.
