+version 1.12.64002 - Paul Eggert, 1999-01-27.
+
+This is an unofficial port of GNU `tar' 1.12 to large file environments
+like Solaris 2.6 and HP-UX 10.20 that rely on integer system
+types longer than `long'.  Please send bug reports specific to this
+unofficial version of GNU `tar' to <eggert@twinsun.com>.
+
+This is not intended to be a forked release for GNU tar; it's
+just an interim experimental release, mostly intended for
+large file hosts.  The patches of this
+release have all been submitted via the usual channels and
+they should no longer be needed once the next official release
+of GNU tar is out.
