Comment (by leif):

 P.S.:  To those unfamiliar with the tar ('''t'''ape '''a'''rchive) file
 format:

 In contrast to e.g. a zip archive, the tar header does ''not'' contain a
 "table of contents"; to get a list all files contained in a tarball (or to
 see whether it contains some file(s)), the ''whole archive'' has to get
 read.  (This originates from the sequential access of tapes, and has other
 advantages.)
