BOY could I use a compatible PC-DOS [un]compress or tar facility. Why oh why can't kermit compress things automatically? :-) I have the sources to compress but I imagine porting it is non-trivial (it looks pretty hairy and machine-dependant?) so I don't want to undertake this if it has been done. Actually a UNIX ARC or ZOO would be nice too :-) Joel Spolsky bitnet: spolsky@yalecs uucp: ...!yale!spolsky Yale University arpa: spolsky@yale.edu voicenet: 203-436-1483 "You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!!"

Why I have a version of GNU tar that I have modified to compile under Turbo C and run under MSDOS. It has some bugs (inherent in the GNU version) but is quite usable. Earl H.

For the version from the News 2.11 distribution, all I had to do (I think) was to #define pcxt. I know it wasn't much work. (This for MSC4.) (It does behave a little stupidly as far as trying to slap a ".Z" on the end of the filename; DOS doesn't think much of "foo.c.z"...)
