Asp Forum - looking for "tar" file reader library

I'm looking for a Ruby "tar" format file reader.

I have not found much out there. So far, just ruby-tar-0.1.0 at
http://www.aagh.net/files... -- which is a program, though I
could library-ize it without much effort. It also seems to have not
been maintained for five years.

I was wondering if anyone knew of something that was already a library?

Thanks in advance.

Look in the Ruwiki project; you'll find Archive::Tar::Minitar. I hope
to move it to the "archive" project soon.
