   # reading a compressed file
   x <- readINCABIL(file)

   # plot the results
   plot(x[[1]])

   # compress first and then read
   file <- untar(file, exdir = tempdir())
   file <- dir(path = tempdir(), pattern = ".bil", full.names = TRUE)
   x <- readINCABIL(file = gsub(".bil", replacement = "", file), times = "all")
