I have also a version of GNU Emacs 21.3.50 (more like 22.x), and  
20.7. In elder Emacsen, I think up to and including 20.x, it was  
necessary to

	(load-library "jka-compr")

Then jka-compr added well-known extensions and also an entry on jka- 
compr-mode (or such) to handle particular file types. And maybe  
telling it about modern compressors/file name endings like tgz, tbz,  
tbz2, tar.bz2 was needed. Tar-mode itself works since at least 18.x.

Therefore my old question what was happening when GNU Emacs was  
launched without any customisation ...
