In a previous message, I stated that dump was still necessary because GNU
tar could not do incremental dumps.  As several people have pointed out,
GNU tar *does* do incremental dumps.  I must plead guilty to temporary
insanity.  I had confused the public domain tar written by John Gilmore
<gnu@toad.com> (which I use), with the genuine GNU tar.

Sorry about misleading people.
