+GNU tar, originally shipped as NetBSD's "tar" up to version 1.3, is a
+full-featured tar command that can access remote and local magnetic tapes,
+tar files (ustar, POSIX, and V7), and even compressed or gzipped versions
+of these. Note that as of the current version of GNU tar (1.12), gtar
+does not create "correct" ustar archives.
