Reply-to: david@ics.COM (David Lewis) Trying to make a tar tape on our MicroVax (Ultrix 2.2), I noticed that tar is checking the full path-name to see if filenames exceed its 100-character maximum. The error message named the whole file-name and not the name relative to the current directory, from which I was making the tape. I was able to work around the problem, but isn't this wrong? Is it a known problem with a fix available? (We don't have sources.) Thanks.
