- We need an extended ar that can handle file names > then 15
- characters. I've been somewhat following the POSIX effort but haven't
- had the time to really track it in detail. Have any changes been proposed
- for ar in POSIX.2 (that sounds like the right place)? If so I'd like to
- stick with them so that we don't have to worry about it later, if not we
- roll out own.
