ZTARDIST files are used to distribute Zope software as a single archive. They can contain the files needed for a Zope distribution and are associated with Zope installation and distribution workflows.
The MIME type is application/x-ztardist.
Open a ZTARDIST file with Zope tools that support the distribution from which it came. If it is a tar-based archive, a compatible archive utility can usually extract it for inspection, but extracting the files does not by itself install Zope.
ZTARDIST files are distribution archives, so they do not normally have a useful document-format conversion. To change the packaging, extract the contents and create a new distribution using the appropriate Zope tooling.
