[Opensim-dev] IAR tar format

[ssm2017]

Hello ubit and kevin,
Thank you for your attention.
I did not know that the file order could be important.
Adding inventory and then assets solved my problem.
Now i have the "offset" issue but only when using the "merge" parameter so
this is not so important in my use case.
