rtar.py version 0.4.0
=====================

More than nine years passed since I touched the source code of this tool.  I
still use it on a regular basis and needed/wanted LZMA compression as this has
found its way into `GNU tar` for some time now.

After all this time only Python 2.7 is supported as older 2.x versions are
obsolete or at least fading from general use.  I feel sorry for the poor souls
stuck on CentOS systems.  ;-)

Head over to the `software page </pages/software.html>`_ for downloading the
tool.
