1. I did not forget the k option.  I think there is something else going
on here.  Reading the Gnu tar documentation, I get the impression it
writes directories at the beginning of each volume of a multi-volume tar.
I suspect that Xenix tar does something like this too.  Obviously, pax
does not.

2. I didn't know about unbundle.  I'll have to look for it.
Ron.
