+            The easiest way is to use `djtar' which comes with DJGPP v2.0,
+            because it can unzip .tar.gz archives on-the-fly (so you won't
+            need twice the required disk space while untarring the
+            archive).  You get `djtar' with the `v2/djdev200.zip' file from
+            the above FTP server.
+
+            Another (slower) version of Tar which unzips automatically is

+
+            ftp.kiae.su:msdos/arcers/tar320fp.zip
+
+            Or you can unZip the archive with the DJGPP port of GZip (from
+            the above directory at ftp.coast.net look for gzp124bn.zip),
+            then unTar it with any of the Tar ports floating around.  A

+
+            Note that DOS ports of GNU Tar usually cannot unzip compressed
+            archives, and the above port is no exception.
+
+            Another version of Tar for DOS can be found at
