Hi all, I wanted to share a small Perl program I wrote called tarcolor that colorizes the output of `tar tvf`
https://github.com/msabramo/tarcolor It uses regular expressions to parse the output and colorize it. I wonder if color output would be a useful feature for GNU tar? I'd be willing to take a stab at a patch, if it's something people would like. On the other hand, if it's something that would just increase the size of the executable or create a maintenance burden, then I'm fine with keeping it as a separate tool. It seems like it might be a nice addition though since it uses the same coloring scheme as GNU ls. Marc http://marc-abramowitz.com/
