2. Usage					*tar-usage* *tar-manual*

   When one edits a `*.tar` file, this plugin will handle displaying a
   contents page.  Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop
   the desired file, then hit the <return> key.  After editing, one may
   also write to the file.  Currently, one may not make a new file in
   tar archives via the plugin.

						*:TarDiff*
   DIFFERENCING SUPPORT~

   :TarDiff [filename]

	This command will attempt to show the differences between the tarball
	version of a file and the associated file on the system.  In order to
	find that file on the system, the script uses the path associated with
	the file mentioned in the tarball.  If the current directory is not
	correct for that path, :TarDiff will fail to find the associated file.

	If the [filename] is given, that filename (and path) will be used to
	specify the associated file.


   PREVENTING LOADING~

   If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine tar'd files,
   you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent
   the tar plugin from loading: >

	let g:loaded_tarPlugin= 1
	let g:loaded_tar      = 1
<
