Following is a short description of the tests:
* gtarfail.at and gtarfail2.at
Requires gnu-multi-fail-volume1.gtar and gnu-multi-fail-volume2.gtar.
These are two parts of a multi-volume archive that previous versions
-of tar refused to read (at least, without -B option).
+of tar refused to read (at least, without -B option).
* ustar-big-2g.at
This is a test for compliance to POSIX.1-1990 tar specification. It
requires two files: ustar-all-quicktest.tar and quicktest.filelist,
-(they usually reside in star/testscripts directory), and `tartest' program
+(they usually reside in star/testscripts directory), and 'tartest' program
(also part of star distribution). The test must be run only with root
privileges, so it is a good idea to verify the contents of
ustar-all-quicktest.tar before running it.
-If `tartest' is not in your PATH, use TARTEST variable to specify its
+If 'tartest' is not in your PATH, use TARTEST variable to specify its
full file name. You may pass both STAR_TESTSCRIPTS and TARTEST
variables as command line arguments to quicktest.sh, as shown in
the example below:
