Introduction:
   Tarsplit is a utility which will attempt to extract all the files from a
   "tar" archive.  It has no options, and is run as follows:

                             tarsplit archivename

                     Eg:
                           tarsplit megakooldemo.tar

   Tarsplit does not automatically append '.tar' to the archive name, if
   not specified--maybe in a later revision.

   In addition to more run-time messages, this version now handles file
   links--in o.s. versions below (and including) 2.04, the files are
   copied and filenotes are attached stating the link; when later o.s.
   versions support true file links (hard & soft), provisions have been
   made in the source code to support it (see Makefile).

Credits:
   This program is a derivation of John Gilmore's public domain "tar", and
   of GNU "tar"--which is heavily based on John's "tar", but with added
   features.

         Changes by:  William Loftus, Matthew Dillon, and Anthon Pang.
