+Intro
+=====
+
+Have you ever wanted to tar something, but you didn't want to push it to your server first?
+
+Tar-js is here to the rescue!!
+
+With tar-js, you can construct a tar archive in the browser. This is basically a port of tar-async for Nodejs for the browser, with a couple differences.
+
+Here's what it supports:
+ * Add strings to a tar archive as files
+ * Customizable uid, gid, mtime, and permissions (defaults work well though too)
+ * Add files in a directory heirarchy
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+Tar needs an HTML5 compliant browser. More specifically it needs `Uint8Array` to work.
+
+The only external module is require-kiss, which makes browser JS much more Node-like.
+
+This module can be installed from npm (`npm install require-kiss`) or directly downloaded from github (https://github.com/coolaj86/require-kiss-js).
+
+Usage Guide
+===========
+
+In your HTML file, make sure that require-kiss is included first. Then, to use it, do something like this:
+
+ var Tar = require('tar-js'),
+ tape = new Tar();
+
+Then all you got to do is call `tape.append` with your params and it'll be added to the archive. That's it!
+
+Here's the api for append: `append(filepath, content, [opts], [callback])`
+
+* filepath- string path (can include directories and such)
+* content- string or Uint8Array
+* opts- options:
+ * mode- permissions of resulting file (octet) [default: 777]
+ * mtime- modification time in seconds (integer) [default: current time]
+ * uid- user id (integer) [default: 0]
+ * gid- group id (integer) [default: 0]
+* callback- callback when done (takes a Uint8Array as it's only parameter)
+ * This is a reference to the tar so far
+ * Copy it if you want to use it, because subsequent adds may break stuff
