From: trb@ima.ISC.COM (Andrew Tannenbaum) > 6. ... > <V11N39 Henry Spencer> Although System III and perhaps > early releases of System V did not include tar, <V11N26 > Joseph S. D. Yao> current releases of System V do. User manuals for UNIX Release 3.0 (June 1980) and Release 5.0 (June 1982) both contain (identical) tar man pages. The changes between the V7 (January 1979) tar man page and these two seem to be cosmetic. Both contain cpio man pages, the 5.0 cpio has the byteswapping options, 3.0 does not. This doesn't mean that Sys III and Sys V had tar, but it does indicate an intention to include them. Andrew Tannenbaum Interactive Boston, MA +1 617 247 1155 Volume-Number: Volume 11, Number 47
