                                DeTar V1.5

                              - PUBLIC DOMAIN -

          ported and re-written in 1994-98 by Andreas R. Kleinert.
          based on code for MS-DOS written in 1988 by Steve R. Sampson

          This program was written under OS V3.1 and is therefore
          fully compatible. It needs OS V1.2+.

          Release Date : 15.02.1998


    Function/Usage :
    ================
    "DeTar" extracts Unix Tar-Archives and may - not very well -
    also list their contents.

    PPC binaries are useable from Shell when being used with
    ppc.library V46+

    Extracting :      DeTar.elf [Archive-Name]
    Listing    :      DeTar.elf d [Archive-Name]

    Often Tar-Files have been "zipped" with GZip, after that changing
    their extension to ".tgz".
    Just extract the original Archive with "GZip" and then use "DeTar"
    on them.


    "detar" for MS-DOS has been written in 1988 by Steve R. Sampson
    and bases on the originally public domain TAR program by John Gilmore.
