	Subject: tar file format
	Date: Wed, 26 Jul 95 08:05:00 PDT

	I've been working on a project where tar is involved.  I need to
	figure out the format of tar files.

man 5 tar (on a 4.3 system, but, strangely, not on my NetBSD-1.0 machine) will
give you the BSD version.  I don't know where to find the System V version,
but it is fairly close.

Why did you send this to -ports?  What does the tar format have to do with
porting the kernel?
