I think his version also handles remote tape access (on Unix hosts). The old sources (Turbo C?) and binaries still seem to be available under: ftp://ftp.mcs.com/mcsnet.users/les/dos-gnutar/ I think the only real problem with this version is that it doesn't handle long filenames (it was written before VFAT & Win95). -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo AT sr DOT hp DOT com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
