Hi,
!tar is a front end to Frank Lancaster's port of tar
I included tar, the documentation on it and the compress utility from Frank's
tar package in this archive, so you can use !tar straight away
With the original archive also come tar_clib and compr_clib which use the
CLib 3.66 - I did not include these as I think in the year 1993 a.D. the
problem is not that 3.66 is still too hot for everybody to have it already.
I hope Frank won't be as angry about this omission as to undertake something
drastic. Besides, there are many places you can get the virgin tar.arc from
Read tar`doc to see how you should and !tar.!Help to see how you shouldn't
write your help/documentation
The InterfaceII module is (c) Software Interrupt Developments
(reminds me strongly of Interface by Stuart Hickinbottom)
The OpenCmndW and CloseCmndW progies is RhubarbWare by Merlin Hughes, the SICK
schwooshy Kysmet, posted to the newsnet a while ago. I just BASICized them and
added some colour to the command window text
tar you healthy
franz
give me money - i will build a large lever and tilt the world (archimedes)
PS I haven't put tar, compress and tar`doc into a separate directory
as the resulting arc archive (I don't have !Spark nor do I have !ArcFS/rw)
could not be read with !ArcFS/r (though with !SparkPlug)
