Subject: A fast TAR archiver for DOS?
Date: 31 May 1993 02:08:46 GMT

I frequently need to do FTP's from the net, to a mainframe, to a local PC,
then copy floppies, then dump the files to my Linux machine at home (chore).

Currently I'm using the TAR supplied with PAX 2.0 under MS-DOS, to create the
floppies. PAX seems kind of slow, especially compared to the TAR in the
Linux SLS 1.02 distribution. Is there anything faster?

Please e-mail any suggestions.
Thanks,
Brandon
