My IBM 8870 at the cellars has one. It's useful for many things. The best
thing is: it heats up the hole house cause of it's power consumption. But
I'm kidding :-)

"star base2_0.tgz" doesn't work, star uses standard input. I'm fully used to
it, tried "star < base2_0.tgz" and "echo base2_0.tgz | star".
Both result in "Error in archive format" or so.
