There is an option for that: --add-file.  Unfortunately it has no
short option equivalent, as tar has almost run out of short option
letters.  Anyway, `tar -cf archive --add-file --null' does the job.

Sorry, it seems to have slipped my attention somehow.  I have just
found it in the archives.  Right now I don't have a tape drive to test
it, unfortunately.  I'll try to get one, anyway, and will keep you
informed about the results.
