Title:         Tool to maintain tar tape archives and control compression.
Version:       2.4.21
Description:   Once you have recorded the record number of each file of
               a tar scsi-tape archive, you are able to find and extract these
               files very fast. If you have a DAT drive, you can extract every
               small file from a 2GB tape within 40 seconds.
               tar2tar is included to change the pathnames inside a tar-archive.

Comment:       The software is only convenient, if your tape supports a fast
               positioning command.
               Added code (mt-dds) to change the compression mode of HP-DAT.
               tar2tar will work on every computer with ANSI-C.
               A patch to GNU-tar is included to add the option --record-file.
