Hello,

	I have B19 of gnu-win32 installed.
I am running NT 4.0 (4.00.1381 no service packs
are installed). I have the an .exe file which
I tarred to multiple floppies
(using GNU tar -M -c -v -f /dev/fd0 on a SunOS4.1.3
SPARC10). I am trying to load then onto my
Dell OptiPlex GXpro under NT using the B19 tar.
When I get to the end of the first floppy tar chokes
as shown below. Is there a bug with B19 tar -M, or
am I doing something wrong???

			Thanks,

				Warren
