It is tar that does it, JS.

To the OP: tar is a very old unix utility, and it records the file mode bits, owner
and group information. That's why it is largely used, file mode bits are important.
When I extract a zip archive in linux I get wrong file modes. Use chown and chmod to
change that.

BTW: .tar.gz files can be extracted in one step: tar xzvf arhicve.tar.gz
