The ISC /usr/bin/tar command does not work with the -r option to append to the end of an existing tar archive on some systems. After several people compared machines, it was finally determined that the ISC NFS ver 2.0 package installs a new copy of /usr/bin/tar which is dated July 21, 1989, and size of 31046. This version works with the -r option, but I would imagine that a much more serious problem exists in it to prompt inclusion of this in NFS. Does anyone know what this might be? James R.
