Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable!  Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits.  The ISOs are off to the replicator.  This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com.  Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project.  Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+This manual page documents the GNU version of
+.B tar
+, an archiving program designed to store and extract files from 
+an archive file known as a 
+.IR tarfile.
+A 
+.IR tarfile 
+may be made on a tape drive, however, it is also common
+to write a
+.IR tarfile
+to a normal file. 
+The first argument to 
+.B tar
+must be one of the options:
+.BR Acdrtux ,
+followed by any optional functions.
+The final arguments to 
+.B tar
+are the names of the files or directories which should be archived. The use
+of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories below should be
+included in the archive.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+.B tar -xvvf foo.tar
+extract foo.tar
+.TP
+.B tar -xvvzf foo.tar.gz
+extract gzipped foo.tar.gz

+.SH BUGS
+.LP
+The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
+The maintainer of tar falls into this category.  This man page is neither
+complete, nor current, and was included in the Debian Linux packaging of tar
+entirely to reduce the frequency with which the lack of a man page gets
+reported as a bug in our defect tracking system.
+
+If you really want to understand tar, then you should run info and read the
+tar info pages, or use the info mode in emacs.
