I've been working on a project where tar is involved.  I need to figure out 
the format of tar files.  Can anyone tell me or point me to information 
about the tar files format?
I've looked at the pax source and was rather over whelmed by the mass of 
code.  I find it easier to code than to port.
thanks,
jam
