I have tried, several times, to use the pax/tar utility on tar files I have downloaded to my PC from my Unix account. In every case, PAX/TAR would only un-tar the first file and would give an error message and quit after that. Has anyone else had this problem and figured out a work-around? (I've tried, but no haven't had any luck yet) Thanks in advance. Kevin Phillips 6600kjp@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu kjp@cornu.ucsb.edu
