I think you're talking about tar-1.13. It's still maintained 
by Slackware because this is the version used to generate
Slackware packages. It's still in current, even if Slackware is going to 
change the package archiver. Anyway, you find the source here:

ftp://elektroni.phys.tut.fi/slackware-12.2/source/a/tar/

In order to use it, you have to apply the patch you find there, then 
compile it and rename the tar executable as tar-1.13, because for
sure you've already a tar installed on your system. I suggest, 
you *don't* install tar-1.13, but only copy the renamed executable somewhere 
in your PATH so Gambas can find it.

Ciao,

Stefano
