Using OCaml, I have developed a little utility called Smart UnTar, which will extract a tar/gzip/bzip archive in to a subdirectory, when appropriate.

This is useful because some archives have a directory structure, and some don't, and it's annoying to have to manually juggle the two.

This is also my first Antiwar License release. The software is licensed under the pro-human rights Hacktivismo License, with the additional provision that my software can not be used to wage or support war, or by the military or military contractors.

"Conservatives are all in favor of the unborn. They would do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Conservatives are obsessed with the fetus, from conception to nine months. After that they don't wanna know about you, they don't wanna hear from you. No nothing. No neo-natal care, no daycare, no Head Start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no wellfare no nothing. If you're pre-born, you're fine. If you're pre-school you're fucked. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you're just fine, just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers." --George Carlin
