[Bug-tar] Sec 9.6.1 (Archives Longer than One Tape or Disk)

[Tony]

Not a bug report, just a 'thought'

While the script in the Manual is nice (--new-volume-script),  I was  
unable to use it as I need to use v1.15.1 in order to preserve OS X  
resource forks.  Using bash brace expansion, I was able to obtain the  
result needed with tar v1.15.1 using  multiple ‘--file’ options:

        a) To Create:
		tar --tape-length=10240 -cMv --file=tar_archive.{tar,tar-{2..100}}  
files to tar
        b) To Extract:
                tar -xMv --file=tar_archive.{tar,tar-{2..100}} <files to 
extract>

Others might find this useful.
