GNU tar manual FTP release, version 1.12 -- suggestion

[Neal Weissman]

greetings!

i suggest that a later version include an explanation of the code that tar

you will likely argue that your readership does not care to know such
things, or you feel that they don't have to know that information. that
may be true for most of the readership but not all.

*I* want to know the meaning, and source, of this string of digits..
