Subject: [feature request] support dash-less basic options
(GNU) tar supports - for historic reasons - dashless basic options $ tar czvf /tmp/xx.tgz foo $ tar tvf /tmp/xx.tgz Not only because one got used to that mantra in System-III era (yes, I'm showing age), it also quite often surfaces in scripts. When using "ptar" on Windows (if it doesn't have "tar"), I almost always type these options without a dash. Would be swell if ptar would accept that too.
