I've dl'd the tar.lzh utility from the libraries and now find that it expects to use an AmigaDos disk. Is there any other way to transport data from the Un*x side of my A3k to the AmigaDos side without going through some intermediate network connection? I don't have a network connection for the Un*x side anyway. When they updated the machines they left most of the networking stuff out for space reasons. (I'm a grad student at VPI with one of the 100 MB disk machines :^) I guess what would be best is a way to mount a SysV disk under AmigaDos, but the Commodore Reps said that to the best of their knowledge no one has written a SysV device handler yet. Is there a way to move stuff on the semi-formatted tar/cpio disks, i.e., no "makesys" run on it yet? That is what I expected the tar.lzh utility to provide. Thanks in advance <- Nathan ->
