This is an announcement for the MSDOS version version of PAX version 2.
See the README file and the man pages for more information on how to
run PAX, TAR, and CPIO.
For those of you who don't know, pax is a 3 in 1 program that gives the
functionality of pax, tar, and cpio. It supports both the DOS
filesystem and the raw "tape on a disk" system used by most micro UN*X
systems. This will allow for easy transfer of files to and from UN*X
systems. It also support multiple volumes. Floppy density for
raw UN*X type read/writes can be specified on the command line.
The source will eventually be posted to one of the source groups.
Be sure to use a blocking factor of 20 with pax-as-tar and B with
pax-as-cpio for best performace.
