Function/Usage :
================
"DeTar" extracts Unix Tar-Archives and may - not very well -
also list their contents.

Listing : DeTar d [Archive-Name]
Often Tar-Files have been "zipped" with GZip, after that changing
their extension to ".tgz".
Just extract the original Archive with "GZip" and then use "DeTar"
on them.
"detar" for MS-DOS has been written in 1988 by Steve R. Sampson
and bases on the originally public domain TAR program by John Gilmore.
