If you have djgpp, it should come with the program 'djtar.exe', which is
a fantastic untar program that handles a lot of the nastiness that can
occur when untarring Unix tar files in DOS (long filenames, duplicate files,
invalid characters, etc.). It even recognizes gzipped tarfiles (.tar.gz,
.tgz),
and unzips them on the fly to save you both the time and the disk space
of doing it manually. The documentation for djtar can be read online with
info (info utilities djtar).
If you'd like to get djtar without installing DJGPP, pick up the files
'djdev200.zip' and 'csdpmi2b.zip' and install only 'djtar*.exe' and
'cwsdpmi.exe' in the same directory. You can discard the rest of the
files. (Eli, DJ: Am I correct in this?)
There are also many other DOS tar utilties out there on the Net; tryany
SimTel mirror.
