Hi Folks...again,

	Another of my many questions...I just FTPed a bunch of
stuff from plains.nodak.edu (not BITFTP either!) and am confused
about some of the files. 

	I know that .Z is a compressed file and know how to uncompress
it.  I also know that a .tar file is an archived file, but I haven't
seen tar anywhere in Minix...I am quite familiar with it on an
AT&T SV though.  Does ar do the same thing?  Or do I have to find
tar for minix?

Thanks alot for the help...
