From: mikee@seas.gwu.edu (Mike Me) Subject: TAR problems / fix && GCC parse problems. Date: 26 May 1992 20:27:01 GMT
1st I was having some serious problem untar-ing some files. I was able
to "list" the files, but the untarring gave a memmory fault.
I uploaded the files back to our unix system, untarred them (fine),
and re-tarred them using the "N" option. This option tars according to
the new POSIX option. I downloaded the files ,and it untarred fine.
The file BTW was 0.96inc.tar.Z from headrest.woz.colorado.edu.
I believe that people are using several tar versions, and that the
linux tar can not deal with it. (unlike the tar on our HP).
Maybee this can give some people a clue as to how to adapt the linux
tar version.

Thanx,
MikeE
