* Hello to all `tar' pretesters!			-*- outline -*-

  Pretest 1.12a is only a snapshot, to ease communication with some people
  developping diffs for `tar'.  Sources somewhat changed since the last
  official 1.12.  This is not a stable version, I suggest that you skip it.

  Paul Eggert submitted a huge diffset to handle large files in `tar'.
  Only a small part of his diffs have been integrated, the rest will be
  done later.  It is not worth resubmitting LFS diffs over this snapshot.

  Eli Zaretskii also sent a comprehensive MSDOS port, but it is not fully
  usable as it stands, some issues are still pending.
