There is a different approach to the problem. I translated gnutar for the
AMIGA (including the compress-Option). Then I wrote a device-handler
that allows devices to be opened as files (like, for example,
rawdev:df0) and added a feature for reading DOS-like disks (like the
SPARC Station format, for example). This one enables me to read tarred
disks on the AMIGA directly, avoiding the zoo-arc-problems.
