Is there really no one who can say which version should be used in the future FDTlive CDs?

Subject: [Freedos-devel] GNU tar or tar?
Hi,
I almost forgot about it:
 
tar 1.12 and
tar 321
While working on other problems in FDT I noticed that the only tar used on the computer is:
tar.exe 3.21 delta from Tim V. Shaporev (tar.exe size: 56,789 Byte)
 
whereas fdimples says that it installs on the computer:
tar (GNU TAR) 1.12 a from Kai Uwe Rommel (it doesn't) (gnu tar exe size. 167,936 Byte)
 
As it seems even the packet itself that you can download from 
seems to include this mismatch. It reports 1.12 in TAR.LSM - but tar.c in the same packet says:
tar.c - Tape ARchive utility program (main function)
 * Author: T.V.Shaporev
 * Creation date: 14 Dec 1990
 
So there seems to be a mismatch. Could someone please check and if necessary fix this?
 
My question: Which one should really be in use at FDT2506 or later?
 
Willi
