Whenever you see a file that ends with the .txz/.tgz extension, it means that you will be able to install the package that the file represents. For example, if you want to install Adobe Reader on your Slackware machine, you install the package using the following command:

installpkg --install-new adobe-reader-9.5.1-i486-1sl.txz
