Win95 has a fairly small limit on the max length of a command (including the arguments). I think it's 1K, but I don't have a Win95 machine around to test it with. Try the "--files-from" (or -T) option to tar, like find . -name '*.class > /tmp/$$-list tar cf foo.tar -T /tmp/$$-list rm /tmp/$$-list --- Wade ---------- Wade Richards -= mailto:WRichard AT Direct DOT CA =- "Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity."
