Tar is a POSIX-compatible archiver, except that it does not use
|
|
tape. It's primary advantage over ar is that the tar format is somewhat
|
|
more standardized than the ar format, making it theoretically possible
|
|
to transport MINIX files to another computer, but do not bet on it. If
|
|
the target machine runs MS-DOS, try doswrite.
