NOTES
As tartest is limited to tests the data that is delivered by the tar
archiver that is going to be checked, it cannot tests if the tar
archiver in question will produce correct archives under all
circumstances. There may be borderline cases that trigger bugs in the
tar archiver.
If you like to to a more complete test, you should have a look at the
file READE.quicktest in the directory testscripts of either the star
distribution or the ftp server.
