I'm not as good in English as it seems I don't know the meaning of iterate. 
Perhaps you can say it with other words ?? Do you mean I should only read the 
+MTREE... and other +* files instead of the whole archive??

Using the BSD Tarlib is a good choice but then it only works on FreeBSD
not on Linux, etc.
But isn't there a gnu version of it both on linux and FreeBSD (libgtar) ?
