I pulled pdtar from simtel under the tenex option. arc521 on a sun
uncompressed the file with no problem. This pdtar is the one I hacked
to develop my own. The code was so bad, I ended using about 10 percent
(header encoders/decoders) and trashed the rest. Much of the code
looked like a translation from TRS-80 Basic.

Unlike my pdtar, it has been used with tapes.

If you want a copy of either pdtar, specify a format and give me a
mail address in ! format relative to ucbvax.

Formats easiest for me are:

arc || zoo -> uuencode

tar | compress | uuencode
