- By Golly Carl!

- The English language is a marvel and a wonder, isn't it!? :)
- I mean, there are so many ways you can hear/read things.
-
- In this instance, what I read was "a tar that uses tcp for transport"
- when it actually said "tar for ms-dos which has tcp built in".
-
- You are quite right, our TAR does not literally have "tcp built in",
- rather it runs over our PC/TCP kernel (a terminate-and-stay-resident
- program which supports the TCP/IP protocol suite).
-
- Thanks for the clarification!
