[comp.sys.ibm.pc] reading tar'd sparcstation floppies

mkl@hoptoad.uucp (Mark Lottor) (02/04/90)

Has anyone been able to read a Sparcstation floppy written in tar
format, onto a PC?  I tried using the PDTAR from SIMTEL20, but it seems
to only be able to read the first few files and then goes off in
a loop never to return.  (i used "tar xviVS b: 1440").

Try to use the tar.exe in PAX.ARC (also from SIMTEL, pd1:<msdos.filutl>)
I have been using that to transfer files between SPARC-1 and IBMPC
without any problems.
