I still don't understand the necessity of the helper buffer. When tar-mode is called, usually the current buffer is unibyte, so there's no need of moving the contents to another buffer. Instead, it creates a buffer for table of contents, setup that buffer, then switch to that buffer. --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@m17n.org
