I haven't had a chance to look at this, but if there is a big I expect it
is in tar create. Most of the testing was done with tar 'x' (that is,
extract). Quite a few addons, with quite a range of files and folder
structures extract successfully.
Can you confirm that the problem you found was with

That blows my theory of a problem in J tar create. Probably a difference
between my interpretation of the tar file spec and 7-zip. Although not the
same, not that J tar exctract works on the addons tar of the dictionary.
Perhaps you already ave, but it would be helpful if you could document
tar.ijs works correctly with files created by linux tar. Files
created from 7z give different format for count and checksum fields,
may be it interprets RFC in a different way. I also tested that
linux tar accetp tar files created from 7z. To fix this, please try
replace the 2 lines in both tarf
Great, thanks.

3.tar 't';'/HlpDict.tar'

May be the tar.ijs in base library had that bug already fixed.
