<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<EM>Tar</EM> is a POSIX-compatible archiver, except that it does not use tape.
It's primary advantage over <EM>ar</EM> is that the <EM>tar</EM> format is somewhat more
standardized than the <EM>ar</EM> 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 <EM>doswrite</EM> .
