Does anyone know of a PD version of 'tar' for a PC? I would like to
tar up directories on a UNIX machine, transfer the .tar files to a PC,
and then de-tar them on the PC. The directories contain only ASCII
files and sub-directories, if that makes things any easier.
Binaries would be nice, since I don't have a C compiler (although I do
have Turbo Pascal 4.0). I also don't have any of the PC tools like
ARC, Zoo, etc (just Kermit). I do have the full range of UNIX tools
available (uudecode, etc.)
Please send EMAIL, since I don't usually read this group. I will post
a summary if there is any interest.
Thanks for the help,
Dan
