>Description:

	The tar.1 manpage contains following lines in EXAMPLES:
	  Other possible time specifications are '02/09/97 13:15',
	  '1997-02-09 13:15', '13:15 9 Feb 1997', '9 Feb 1997 13:15', 
	  'Feb. 9, 1997 1:15pm', '09-Feb', '3 weeks ago' or 'May first Sunday'.
	  [snip]

	A line begins with "'" character is treated specially by
	troff, so
	  '1997-02-09 13:15', '13:15 9 Feb 1997', '9 Feb 1997 13:15', 
	and
	  'Feb. 9, 1997 1:15pm', '09-Feb', '3 weeks ago' or 'May first Sunday'.
	are not shown in formated tar.1 page.

	So, "'" characters which appear at the beggining of the line
	should be escaped by "\&".
