Hello All,

Is anyone here familiar with the FSF tar.exe program?

The os/2 version does this...

[f:\]tar.exe
SYS0002: The system cannot find the file specified.
 "DISKACC"


Why ???

When the dos version works, and gives the following 'help'

F:\TEMP>tar
/temp/tar: you must specify exactly one of the r, c, t, x, or d options
Choose one of the following:
-A      Append tar files to an archive.
-c      Create a new archive.
-d      Find differences between archive and file system.

Unfortunately the dos version does not extract files correctly that have
long filenames, that's why i'd like the os2 version to work ;)

Michael.
