Hello, djgpp users

It seems that djtar has a bug in multi-volume archive support.
If a multi-volume archive is created using GNU tar on a UNIX box
(i. e. with 'tar cvfM /dev/fd0H1440 files_that_needed' on Linux)
and than unpacked using djtar, archive contents seemed to be completely
broken. Note, that after that UNIX tar unpacked files without any problems
(well, I had expirience, that my multi-volume archive had broken
between two the same versions of GNU tar on Linux, but it seems to be
irrelevant to THIS behavour of djtar).

Regards,
Alexander
