NOTES
       As  tartest  is	limited  to  tests  the data that is delivered by the tar archiver that is going to be checked, it cannot tests if the tar
       archiver in question will produce correct archives under all circumstances. There may be borderline cases that  trigger	bugs  in  the  tar
       archiver.

       If  you like to to a more complete test, you should have a look at the file READE.quicktest in the directory testscripts of either the star
       distribution or the ftp server.
