** ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/unix/untgz095.zip
    maintained by Tillmann Steinbrecher <tst@darmstadt.netsurf.de>
    The `untgz' program is a fast .tar or .tar.gz (.tgz) extractor.

**X http://people.darmstadt.netsurf.de/tst/tar.htm
    maintained by Tillmann Steinbrecher <tst@darmstadt.netsurf.de>
    This is not a `tar' port, but an index of them.

* IBM/PC (OS/2)

**X http://www.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/archiver/gtar254.zip
    http://www.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/archiver/gtak254.zip

    Version 2.54.  Based on tar 1.10.  The second archive contains SCSI
    drivers (DAT streamers notably) and rmt-type programs.

* IBM/PC (Win32: Windows 95, NT 3.5 or NT 4.0)

**X ftp://ftp.cygnus.com:~ftp/pub/sac/win32/usersrc/*
    maintained by Cygnus
    GNU-Win32 B17.1 distribution.  Download all files, `cat' them together,
    and `untar' the result.  You get many GNU tools, not only `tar'.
    Based on tar 1.11.2.

**X ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/.20/windows/archiver/tar.zip

* Macintosh

** Paulo Abreu (paulotex at yahoo dot com) did a
   limited port of GNU tar to Darwin, with support for resource forks
   and finder info, but this no longer seems to be available.

** There is a tar in Stuffit Expander which is available many places and
   comes with MacOS.  It creates some spurious files but works on average.

** There is an excellent GNU tar bundled in Tenon MachTen, but it does not
   seem to be available separately.
