Interesting! Chuck Haley is also listed as the author of tar in "Life
with Unix" p. 31 (Libes and Resler, Prentice Hall, 1989). I wonder
where that piece of misinformation came from and what other errors are
in the book.
Anyway, I corrected tar's authorship in the Unix history Git repo

Forget that I said, "I think that tar was written

Ken confirms that he wrote it, for dectape.
