TAR
3 messages in this thread
I am hiving trouble untaring unix tarred files. I have both tar.lzh
and tar.zoo they both untar 1 file and then the .lzh one stopps and
the .zoo one crashes the system. I have tried tar -xvf filename and
tar xvf filename and tar fvx filename (also tried it with a dash in
front of it) and tar xvif filename (and all combinations there of)
and tar xviBf filename (and all combinations) plus all these with
dashes in front of them. If anyone has any idea about the tar
archiver and can help me I would greatly appreciate it. All I want to
do is untar the tarred files in the archives dir. Or at least untar
them period. thankx
There is one readme file that is not named readme. It has the exact
Amiga particulars in it.
Well, I ran into the same problems. It seemed to me that the tars that I
was attempting to use didn't like the OS that I had, so I took the docs
and wrote a un-tar program. It will break out the files in a tar archive
into the individual files with respect to the directory structure, but
that is it. It will not make tar archives. It does not support
compression or any other "standard" tar features. It will un-tar plain
tar archives though. If you want it, drop me a note and I will send it to
you (source code included if you want to improve it).
