Thanks, Jason and Tim - I was able to resolve my problem with this. Of 
course, the documentation in the httpd.conf file could not have been 
clearer:

#
# AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration
# file mime.types for specific file types.
#
#AddType application/x-tar .tgz

So I appreciate the helpful responses despite my decidedly non-thorough 
searching.
