[Tar 3.0]

This is version 3.0 of tar for the Macintosh.  This version is now
7.0-compatible.  Besides some bug fixes, there are new features:

	* Tar will now create and use a preferences file.
	  Tar will thus remember any options you have selected.

	* Tar will now extract and convert MS-DOS style line
	  endings (CR/LF) to Macintosh sytle (CR).

	* Tar will now read/write floppy disks, allowing exchange
	  of tar archives with Unix systems with a floppy.

The source is also available in a separate posting.
