If this actually _worked_, the flame would have been unwarranted, BUT
SCO Xenix does not allow updating tape archives (or disk file archives!) -
only floppy disks can be updated. RTFM :-}

The only way to get a single archive in Xenix is to `tar x', add the new 
stuff, and then `tar c' ... NOT NICE!!
