I, myself, noticed that, but didn't use it because I had need of TAR
multiple times in a real mode session, ie I was calling it up to 160 time
at one sitting to extact a _single_ file for working with. Even loading
cwsdpmi as resident wouldn't help because I'd have to do it before
launching my command shell, and I didn't want it in my autoexec because I
might not need it. Is this making sense?
