-
- User manuals for UNIX Release 3.0 (June 1980) and Release 5.0 (June
- 1982) both contain (identical) tar man pages. The changes between the
- V7 (January 1979) tar man page and these two seem to be cosmetic. Both
- contain cpio man pages, the 5.0 cpio has the byteswapping options, 3.0
- does not.
-
- This doesn't mean that Sys III and Sys V had tar, but it does indicate
- an intention to include them.
