+version 1.12.lfs.3 - Paul Eggert, 1998-08.
+
+This version is an unofficial port of GNU `tar' 1.12 to Large File
+Summit (LFS) environments like Solaris 2.6 that rely on integer system
+types longer than `long'.  Please send bug reports specific to this
+unofficial version of GNU `tar' to <eggert@twinsun.com>.
+
+This is not intended to be a forked release for GNU tar; it's
+just an interim experimental release, mostly intended for
+Large File Summit hosts like Solaris 2.6.  The patches of this
+release have all been submitted via the usual channels and
+they should no longer be needed once the next official release
+of GNU tar is out.
