1. I did not forget the k option. I think there is something else going
on here. Reading the Gnu tar documentation, I get the impression it
writes directories at the beginning of each volume of a multi-volume tar.
I suspect that Xenix tar does something like this too. Obviously, pax
does not.
2. I didn't know about unbundle. I'll have to look for it.
