The Tar bninary file is available for download for testing. I just tar'd
some batch files then deleted the batch files and then untared the file. The
process I used was:

1) DJGPP_204 D:\temp>tar -c *.txt > TEST.TAR
2) DJGPP_204 D:\temp>del *.txt
3)  DJGPP_204 D:\temp>dir
     Volume in drive D is DATA
     Volume Serial Number is 8495-4651

     Directory of D:\temp

    10/10/2001  10:18p      <DIR>          .
    10/10/2001  10:18p      <DIR>          ..
    10/10/2001  10:18p              30,720 TEST.TAR
               1 File(s)         30,720 bytes
               2 Dir(s)  13,947,686,912 bytes free

4) DJGPP_204 D:\temp>tar -x < TEST.TAR
5) DJGPP_204 D:\temp>dir
     Volume in drive D is DATA
     Volume Serial Number is 8495-4651

     Directory of D:\temp

    10/10/2001  10:19p      <DIR>          .
    10/10/2001  10:19p      <DIR>          ..
    07/10/2001  02:51p               1,750 mkall_out.txt
    11/03/2001  12:07a              19,959 readme.txt
    10/10/2001  10:18p              30,720 TEST.TAR
               3 File(s)         52,429 bytes

Is this enough to test LFN? Note that mkall_out.txt has more than 8 chars in
the name.

I do not have ed installed or built and as such cannot test it.
