And of course like many commands, you can add the option multiple times 
to increase it's application:

tar --feather --feather --feather

Although, be careful, too many '--feather' options yields the following

tar: too many feathers for tar amount, feathers are not sticking
Try tar '--extratar' or 'tar --pileiton'

Until later: Geoffrey		esoteric at 3times25.net

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
