Star is the fastest tar archiver for UNIX.
The OS/2 port features full support for 64bit file I/O and ability to backup and
restore OS/2 EAs.
The main program is named star_fat.exe, if you rename it to tar.exe (or gnutar.exe, ...)
it will change his default behaviour (included are symlinks, but they will not work
without proper setup/tools).
