The .tgz file is a .tar file that has been gzipped, as you found when
you gunzip'd it. You would use something like tar xvf blassic.tar to
unpack that further. However, the .tgz is most likely the source tree
for this file, and likely not what you want at first.

You probably want to look a bit further down the download page for one
of the Windows binary files - likely ending in either .zip or .exe
