What is the purpose of the file `tarchange.lst'?  I sometimes find a
leftover, zero-length file by this name after working with djtar.
E.g., try `djtar --help'.  It appears from the sources (main of djtar.c
is the only place I find the string `tarchange') that tarchange is
supposed to contain ``changes'', but *what* changes?

TIA,
jtw

---from djtar.c---

  if (to_stdout)
  {
    setmode(fileno(stdout), O_TEXT);
    return 0;
  }
  else
  {
    change_file = fopen("tarchange.lst", "w");
    if (change_file != (FILE *)0)
    {
      dump_changes();
      fclose(change_file);
      return 0;
    }
    else
      return 1;
  }
