[Help-tar] Tar and the LINA project

[Saill White]

Hi Tar users,

We're contacting you about tar and our project LINA.

LINA is an Open Source project that makes it easy to run Linux applications on 
other operating systems, including Windows and Mac OS X. Taking a step beyond 
other cross-platform solutions like Cygwin and traditional virtual operating 
systems, our goal is to make Linux applications as easy to install and run on 
other operating systems as native applications.

We have just finalized our first truly user-friendly release of LINA. We have 
also packaged a small number of applications into cross-platform packages that 
work wherever LINA is running, with many more coming soon. Tar is among the 
first packages that we have put together.  We know you there are other ways to 
run tar on non-unix operating systems, but we think LINA makes it particularly

We are currently holding the tar installers in our testing area where they are 
getting worked over by us and interested members of our community before we set 
them loose on the public. It would be wonderful if you or anyone else in tar 
community could have a look at them and give us feedback.

Here is a link to the login for the testing area. You can log in with the username "tar" 
and the password "tar-tester".

We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts on our project.
