Title: Tool to maintain tar tape archives and control compression.
Version: VERSION
Description: Once you have recorded the record number of each file of
a tar scsi-tape archive, you are able to find and extract these
files very fast. If you have a DAT drive, you can extract every
small file from a 2GB tape within 40 seconds.
tar2tar is included to change the pathnames inside a tar-archive.
