Implements support for UNIX tar archives.

This package implements the UNIX tar archive, as well as an equivalent of the tar command.

The package makes use of the Java Activation package to support the translation of ASCII files via MIME types. This allows you to convert text files, based on their extension, as you archive and extract files.

The package is designed to allow you to integrate tar archive support into any Java application. @author Tim Endres @version 1.2 @gjtrel $Name: $ @gjtdate $Date: 2004/08/26 19:47:19 $ @gjtjvm 1.1 @gjtreq JAF 1.0 @gjtcat application @gjtcat utilitity @gjtcat filter @gjtcat stream @gjtcat tar @gjtcat archive @gjthome Java Tar Home Page @gjtlicense PD
