Whaddaya need TAR for MS-DOS for if you're going to work on PAX? As far as
I can tell in two weeks of using PAX on a 286 (Micorport V/AT) box,
a 68K (AT&T Unix PC), and an AT&T 3b2 (this machine, killer), PAX reads and
writes TAR files, and if invoked as "tar" (i.e. link or copy it to "tar"),
it looks, feels, behaves, etc., just like tar.
