- GNU Tar 1.10 Port for the Atari ST with MiNT (and without)
- ==========================================================
-
- There are most certainly bugs in this version. If you do find any please
- report them to me and I'll try to fix them, although I don't guarantee it.

- 1. A problem exists in that you must reside on the same physical drive when
- specifying the files to enclose within a tar file as GNU Tar doesn't know about
- TOS drive identifiers. i.e. 'gtar cvzf test.tar h:/lib*' will certainly cause
- problems. Instead change directory to 'H:' and execute 'gtar cvzf test.tar lib*'
- (I don't actually class this as a BUG more of a standard Un*x thing. MiNT v0.9
- provides a 'U:' drive which has all other drives mounted onto it, so this BUG
- shouldn't cause too many problems.)
-
- This is the only problem I know of. And yes when I get time I'll sort out the
- problem, but I just needed a version that worked real quick. Instead of all
- my tar files chewing up my hard disk space that were not compressed.
