It also takes care of long file names. If you want to make a .tar under DOS, look under the pub/msdos/archivers directory of you next SimtelNet mirror. zip and unzip can be grabbed from ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip and compile smoothly under DJGPP and should also take take care of long file names. Otherwise, they are perfectly portable across operating systems. -- Ciao Tom ************************************************************* * Thomas Demmer * * Lehrstuhl fuer Stroemungsmechanik * * Ruhr-Uni-Bochum * * Universitaetsstr. 150 * * D-44780 Bochum * * Tel: +49 234 700 6434 * * Fax: +49 234 709 4162 * * http://www.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~demmer * *************************************************************
