Hi all, I'm in need of some software that will read a Unix Tar archive off of an Exabyte drive and dump/unarchive to dos. I got some utilities from the Unix forum on CIS, but I would like some advice from anyone who knows as to which is the best (easiest utility) to use (commercail is fine). If anyone knows, please let me know. Also, I was wondering if Tar is the unix equivelent of Zip, or if it's only done when going to tape? (Tar = Tape ARchive??). Thanks, David
