This is a port of Gnu TAR to PRIMOS. It supports the normal
creation of TAR files and also direct driving of local tape
drives. It can even speak the RMT protocol to talk to remote
tape devices on UNIX machines over TCP/IP.
 
Some usage examples:

   tar cvf foo.tar file1 file2 dir3

       (Creates the foo.tar archive file containing the files file1 and file2.
        The archive will also contain all files and subdirectories in dir3)
 
   tar tvf bar.tar 

       (Will display the files in the bar.tar archive file)

   tar xvf fubar.tar

       (Will extra all the files in the fubar archive file)

   tar xvf fubar.tar fubar/foo.c

       (Will extra the file "foo.c" in the directory fubar)

   tar xvf pen@unixhost:/dev/rst0

       (Extract all files on a tape mounted on the unix machine "unixhost",
        in the tape device "/dev/rst0". Login as user "pen". TAR will
        prompt you for the password to use)
 
   tar tv0h

       (Display the files on the tape MT0 using 6250 BPI. "h" = 6250,
        "m" = 1600, "l" = 800)
