 This distribution also includes rmt, the remote tape server (which
 must reside in /etc).  The mt program is in the GNU cpio distribution.
 
-To compile tar (and rmt, if your system has the needed features) on
-Unix-like systems:
-
-1.  Type `./configure'.  This shell script attempts to guess correct
-values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation,
-and creates the file `Makefile'.  This takes a couple of minutes.
-
-If you want to compile in a different directory from the one
-containing the source code, `cd' to that directory and run `configure'
-with the option `--srcdir=DIR', where DIR is the directory that
-contains the source code.  The object files and executables will be
-put in the current directory.  This option only works with versions of
-`make' that support the VPATH variable.  `configure' ignores any other
-arguments you give it.
-
-If your system requires unusual options for compilation or linking
-that `configure' doesn't know about, you can give `configure' initial
-values for variables by setting them in the environment; in
-Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like
-this:
-$ CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure
-
-2.  If you want to change the directories where the programs will be
-installed, or the optimization options, edit `Makefile' and change
-those values.  If you have an unusual system that needs special
-compilation options that `configure' doesn't know about, and you
-didn't pass them in the environment when running `configure', you
-should add them to `Makefile' now.  Alternately, teach `configure' how
-to figure out that it is being run on a system where they are needed,
-and mail the diffs to the address listed at the top of this file so we
-can include them in the next release.
-
-3.  Type `make'.
-
-4.  If your system needs to link with -lPW to get alloca, but has
-rename in the C library (so RENAME_MISSING is not used), -lPW might give
-you an incorrect version of rename.  On HP-UX this manifests itself as
-an undefined data symbol called "Error" when linking tar.  If this
-happens, use `ar x' to extract alloca.o from libPW.a and `ar rc' to
-put it in a library liballoca.a, and put that in LIBS instead of -lPW.
-This problem does not occur when using gcc, which has alloca built in.
-
-5.  If the programs compile successfully, type `make install' to
-install them.
-
-6.  After you have installed the programs, you can remove the binaries
-from the source directory by typing `make mostlyclean'.  Type `make
-clean' if you also want to remove `Makefile', for instance if you
-are going to recompile tar next on another type of machine.

-User-visible changes since 1.09:
-
-Filename to -G is optional.  -C works right.  
-Names newer and --newer-mtime work right.
-
--g is now --incremental
--G is now --listed-incremental
-
-Sparse files now work correctly.
-
---volume is now called --label.
-
---exclude now takes a filename argument, and --exclude-from does what
---exclude used to do.
-
-Exit status is now correct.
-
---totals keeps track of total I/O and prints it when tar exits.
-
-When using --label with --extract, the label is now a regexp.
-
-New option --tape-length (-L) does multi-volume handling like BSD dump:
-you tell tar how big the tape is and it will prompt at that point
-instead of waiting for a write error.
+User-visible changes since 1.10:
 
-New backup scripts level-0 and level-1 which might be useful to
-people.  They use a file "backup-specs" for information, and shouldn't
-need local modification.  These are what we use to do all our backups
