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.

==============================================================================
3. Options						*tar-options*

   These options are variables that one may change, typically in one's
   <.vimrc> file.
                         Default
   Variable               Value   Explanation
   *g:tar_browseoptions*  "Ptf"   used to get a list of contents
   *g:tar_readoptions*    "OPxf"  used to extract a file from a tarball
   *g:tar_cmd*            "tar"   the name of the tar program
