| 25 | .B mxtar |
| 26 | let you use GNU \fBtar\fR(1) on a floppy disk without mounting it using |
| 27 | \fBmtools\fR(1). |
| 28 | It is not strictly necessary on Debian GNU/Linux, because the GNU |
| 29 | \fBtar\fR(1) program provides the same capability after copying the |
| 30 | file locally with |
