First, I'd like to thank Eric for the excellent job he's done porting
the FSF utilities.
    It's no big deal, but

    tar +help | more

doesn't work.  The output gets written to the console (actually
stderr), and the pager reads a null file.  Under 4DOS

    tar +help |& more

works.  I seem to recall that there are ways to achieve this end under
GO32, and maybe under DOS 5.
    Is this behavior consistent across the FSF utilities?
