Ar(1) refuses to extract a file from an archive which it cannot open for writing, with the message `can't create <library>'. This can be fixed by changing line 244 from ar_fd = open_archive(argv[2], (show_fl || pr_fl) ? READ : APPEND); to ar_fd = open_archive(argv[2], (show_fl || ex_fl || pr_fl) ? READ : APPEND); Martin usenet: mcvax!ukc!minster!martin surface: Martin C. Atkins Department of Computer Science University of York Heslington York Y01 5DD ENGLAND
