Is this only me? What version of tar was used to create the cnews tar file? the sdbm archives as well as the cnews archive look hosed, while the rn & reap stuff seems ok. (a bunch of other stuff I grabbed at the same time looks ok as well) I am trying to un-tar it with the tar that comes w/SunOS 4.1.1. --John ================================= ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful. 150 ASCII data connection for /bin/ls (140.221.1.141,2266) (0 bytes). cnews.tar.Z reap.sh.Z rn.tar.Z sdbm01.Z sdbm02.Z sdbm03.Z 226 ASCII Transfer complete. 64 bytes received in 7e-06 seconds (8.9e+03 Kbytes/s) ftp> bin 200 Type set to I. ftp> get cnews.tar.Z 200 PORT command successful. 150 Binary data connection for cnews.tar.Z (140.221.1.141,2267) (626056 bytes). 226 Binary Transfer complete. local: cnews.tar.Z remote: cnews.tar.Z 626056 bytes received in 24 seconds (26 Kbytes/s) ftp> ^D 221 Goodbye.

This is the tar that comes with 3.1.0. I stayed away from Coherent's stock tar because I have had bad experiences with it before in the past. I probably should've marked it as cnews.ustar.Z, but after staying up 7 hours late to kermit the sucker to my local FTP site so I could FTP it to piggy, I may not have been thinking very clearly.
