-a is likely a GNU tar specific option. I'm remember cursing grep on 
Solaris not supporting -A/-B/-C back in the day.

`tar tzvf proj-data-1.17RC2.tar.gz` does work on Mac, but it ignores the 
._ files, they are also not present after unpacking the archive.

Apparently the ._ files are an Mac thing for extended attributes:
