>>Enhanced Unix "tar" utilities all seem to be able to do it.

i dare say it can.
cd /usr/src/contrib/tar; wc -l lib/*.c src/*.c
	... far too many files
   24449 total

and that's an old version. it has got `remote tape access',
though.  i'd forgotten about that. there's probably a command
language interpreter in there somewhere.

plan 9's pax is only 9000 lines, and is a little behind the times:
cd /usr/src/bin/pax; wc -l *.c
	...
    13455 total

does anyone still use cpio or pax?  apparently
it's like that OSI stuff that never quite dies,
however many stakes have been banged through its heart.
