 1 Introduction
 **************
 
 GNU `tar' creates and manipulates "archives" which are actually
 collections of many other files; the program provides users with an
 organized and systematic method for controlling a large amount of data.
 The name "tar" originally came from the phrase "Tape ARchive", but
 archives need not (and these days, typically do not) reside on tapes.
