Is there another location for PDTAR.ARC or >perhaps a better source for easy source? I pulled pdtar from simtel under the tenex option. arc521 on a sun uncompressed the file with no problem. This pdtar is the one I hacked to develop my own. The code was so bad, I ended using about 10 percent (header encoders/decoders) and trashed the rest. Much of the code looked like a translation from TRS-80 Basic. Unlike my pdtar, it has been used with tapes. If you want a copy of either pdtar, specify a format and give me a mail address in ! format relative to ucbvax. Formats easiest for me are: arc || zoo -> uuencode tar | compress | uuencode REPLY TO THE ADDRESS BELOW, NOT THE DEFAULT GIVEN BY THE MAILREADER COMMANDS r or R. Earl H.

I'm looking for a PD driver that will let me use a tar program to tape device on my AT. I have an everex QIC full length card and a wangtek 60 meg tape drive. I would like to be able to do the basic "tar cvf /tape ." command and have it behave correctly. Any chance that such a beast exisist for plane jane dos? thanks in advance Mark D.
