Well, tar works fine in 32-bit mode under AU/X in the small amount
of testing I've done, but that isn't 7.0.  Since I don't have 7.0,
I can't test it myself.  Note that the source code is available
so that anyone can fix (or just recompile) themself.  You should
also check the version you have.  The latest is v2.0 from May 1990.
Both the source and binary are available on ncar.ucar.edu (128.117.64.4)
with anonymous FTP in 'pub/Mac'.
