<module name="libtar">
<short>tar archive manipulation classes</short>
<descr>
<p>The <file>libtar</file> units provides 2 classes to read and write
<file>.tar</file> archives: <link id="TTarArchive"/> class can be used
to read a tar file, and the <link id="TTarWriter"/> class can be used to
write a tar file. The unit was implemented originally by Stefan Heymann.</p>
