tar format

[Edward C. Bennett]

	I'm sure this has been beaten to death before so please MAIL
your responses.

	When BSD tar creates an archive of a directory, it (by default)
writes a tar header block for the directory itself. SysV tar doesn't do
this. Is one way more 'correct' than the other? Is there an actual "standard"
for tar written down somewhere? Should I bother to hack my SysV tar to
write directory blocks?
