MXTAR(1)		      Mtools Users Manual		      MXTAR(1)

NAME
       mxtar - Wrapper for using GNU tar directly from a floppy disk

SYNOPSIS
       mxtar [ - ] [ tar-options ] file

DESCRIPTION
       mxtar let you use GNU tar(1) on a floppy disk without mounting it using
       mtools(1).  It is not strictly necessary on Debian  GNU/Linux,  because
       the  GNU	 tar(1) program provides the same capability after copying the
       file locally with

       mcopy file destination

       but this utility is provided in the mtools package for other  platforms
       and is retained here for completeness.

AUTHOR
       Luis  Bustamante	 <luferbu@fluidsignal.com>  wrote  this	 page  for the
       Debian/GNU mtools package.
