Title: Basic programs to read TAR tapes posted to net.sources

I have posted four Basic programs that read Unix TAR format
tapes on RSTS/E and VAX VMS onto net.sources.

They are as follows:
  RDMT.BAS	VRDMT.BAS	Simple program to read the tape
				to a scratch disk file.
  UNTAR.BAS	VUNTAR.BAS	Extract all files from the TAR
				tape.

The V... programs are for Vax-11 Basic; the others for RSTS/E
Basic-Plus.  The programs are packed into one file using a
text archiver.  You should be able to extract them using your
favorite editor.

I would appreciate hearing of any problems or improvements.
