Two possibilities: (a) The latest version of the MKS Toolkit includes a version of tar for MSDOS; (b) ktar from me. I have both and use the latter primarily. ktar is an extensive (90%) rewriting of an early version of GNUtar. Aside from standard tar options ktar offers: - an estimate of the number of disks needed; - the ability to read/write XENIX tar disks under **DOS; - **DOS <==> **IX name and time conversion; - the ability to use either named files or raw devices under **DOS; - path pruning (skip the first n elements in file names); - etc. Currently ktar is available in SUN 4.3 BSD and **DOS versions (source code if you want). A XENIX version will come if and when I fix my XENIX box. Source code and documentation can be mailed. The **DOS version compiles under Turbo C 2.0. There is no charge for ktar.
