I read in one of the technical reports that there was a program written in icon that read a tar file, checked if the names were longer than 15 characters, if so, shortened them. I wrote such a utility nearly a year ago, and have posted several versions of it to this newsgroup. I have been getting enough sporadic requests for it that I've decided to post it to alt.sources. Anyone who is unable to look it up there can write to me directly, and I'll happily send them a copy. Gotta send me bug reports and comments, though! -Richard
