UNTAR 1.14 unpacks tar-files (Tape ARchive used by unix/linux).
The program handles subdirectories, file names containing illegal characters
in DOS and long file names (in Win95/98/NT-DOS).

HINTS
-----
Run UNTAR without a file name for instructions. The options "/u" and "/r"
are very useful. "/u" converts illegal characters in file names to _ 
(underscore) and "/r" renames files, if their file names are longer than
8 characters before point and 3 characters after (standard DOS file names).
The files can afterwards get their correct name back using the UNTARREN.BAT
for renaming the files. "/p" unpacks the files to subdirectories.

UNTAR 1.13 -> 1.14
------------------
When using /v /s or /l , no untarren.bat and untarlog.txt (size: 0) is
created.

Minor "editorial" changes in the help screens.

UNTAR 1.12 -> 1.13
------------------
Now runs without math coprocessor too (386, 486SX and below).

Two new options added for disabling the creation of untarren.bat and 
untarlog.txt . 

Changed contact email adress and locations, where to obtain new versions.

UNTAR 1.11 -> 1.12
------------------
Error correction: The "rename" command generated in UNTARREN.BAT was not
always correct, causing that the subdirectories weren't renamed and all the
files in these neither.

Added an emergency exit, when asking for file name: "*exit"

UNTAR 1.10 -> 1.11
------------------
Version 1.11 supports long file names by making it possible to run a bat-file
after unpacking a tar-file. This bat-file renames the files to their correct
names. UNTAR is DOS/16-bit and does not itself support long file names, but
the renaming procedure works fine. UNTARMOV.BAT executes UNTAR and afterwards
executes the generated UNTARREN.BAT, which renames the files. If you have
som favourite options, you always use, you can include these in the 
UNTARMOV.BAT too.

If filesize is not "modulus" 512 (which is the normal size for tar-files),
the program sometimes tried to create files with corrupted names. This is
corrected.

Error handling is improved. UNTARREN.BAT and UNTARLOG.TXT is correctly
closed, when an error occurs.

The program recognizes "gzipped" files and gives a warning.
