-Hey! Emacs! Yo! This is -*- Text -*- !!!
-
-This GNU tar 1.11.2. Please send bug reports, etc., to
-bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. This is a beta-test release. Please
-try it out. There is no manual; the release of version 1.12 will
-contain a manual.
-
-GNU tar is based heavily on John Gilmore's public domain tar, but with
-added features. The manual is currently being written.
-
-This distribution also includes rmt, the remote tape server (which
-normally must reside in /etc). The mt tape drive control program is
-in the GNU cpio distribution.
-
-See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions for Unix.
-See the file NEWS for information on all that is new in this version
-of tar.
-
-makefile.pc is a makefile for Turbo C 2.0 on MS-DOS.
-
-Various people have been having problems using floppies on a NeXT. In
-order to have them work right, you need to kill the automounting
-program which tries to monut floppies as soon as they are added.
-
-If you want to do incremental dumps, use the distributed backup
-scripts. They are what we use at the FSF to do all our backups. Most
-importantly, do not use --incremental (-G) or --after-date (-N) or
---newer-mtime to do incremental dumps. The only option that works
-correctly for this purpose is --listed-incremental. (When extracting
-incremental dumps, use --incremental (-G).)
-
-If your system needs to link with -lPW to get alloca, but has
-rename in the C library (so HAVE_RENAME is defined), -lPW might
-give you an incorrect version of rename. On HP-UX this manifests
-itself as an undefined data symbol called "Error" when linking cp, ln,
-and mv. If this happens, use `ar x' to extract alloca.o from libPW.a
-and `ar rc' to put it in a library liballoca.a, and put that in LIBS
-instead of -lPW. This problem does not occur when using gcc, which
-has alloca built in.
