-`tar' to be used for incremental and full backups. This distribution
-also includes `rmt', the remote tape server. The `mt' tape drive control
-program is in the GNU `cpio' distribution.
-
-GNU `tar' is derived from John Gilmore's public domain `tar'.

-See file `ABOUT-NLS' for how to customize this program to your language.
-See file `BACKLOG' for a summary of pending mail and articles.
-See file `COPYING' for copying conditions.
-See file `INSTALL' for compilation and installation instructions.
-See file `PORTS' for various ports of GNU tar to non-Unix systems.
-See file `NEWS' for a list of major changes in the current release.
-See file `THANKS' for a list of contributors.
-
-Besides those configure options documented in files `INSTALL' and
-`ABOUT-NLS', a few extra options may be accepted after `./configure':
-
-* `--with-included-malloc' or `--without-included-malloc' may override
-the automatic choice made by `configure' about using included GNU malloc.
-
-* `--with-dmalloc' is a debugging option for looking at memory management
-problems, it prerequires Gray Watson's package, which is available as
-`ftp://ftp.letters.com/src/dmalloc/dmalloc.tar.gz'.
-
-The default archive device is now `stdin' on read and `stdout' on write.
-The installer can still override this by presetting `DEFAULT_ARCHIVE'
-in the environment before configuring (the behavior of `-[0-7]' or
-`-[0-7]lmh' options in `tar' are then derived automatically). Similarly,
-`DEFAULT_BLOCKING' can be preset to something else than 20.
-
-For comprehensive modifications to GNU tar, you might need tools beyond
-those used in simple installations. Fully install GNU m4 1.4 first,
-and only then, Autoconf 2.12 with officious patches held in `AC-PATCHES'.
-Install Perl, then Automake 1.1n with officious patches in `AM-PATCHES'.
-You might need Bison 1.25 with officious patches in `BI-PATCHES' (but yacc
-and byacc may be OK for you), and GNU tar itself. All are available on
-GNU archive sites, like in ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/, but Automake
-is still ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey/automake-1.1n.tar.gz.
-
-Send bug reports to `tar-bugs@gnu.ai.mit.edu'. (Beware, old-timers: it is
-`@gnu', not `@prep'; and not `bug-gnu-utils' anymore.) A bug report is
-an adequate description of the problem: your input, what you expected,
-what you got, and why this is wrong. Diffs are welcome, but they only
-describe a solution, from which the problem might be uneasy to infer.
-If needed, submit actual data files with your report. Small data files
-are preferred. Big files may sometimes be necessary, but do not send them
-to the report address; rather take special arrangement with the maintainer.
