Here are last-minute notes and additions to Portable tar documentation:
!!! BE WARNED THIS IS TEST VERSION. It works fine for me, but changes
in basic IO support make me suspicious - bugs are probable enough.
Main changes since version 3.20g - not reflected in the documentation
yet - are the following:
1) Added support for DOS7/Windoze Long File Names (LFN).
The program is still DOS executable and have no native Win32 version.
Nevetherless it detects presence of LFN service and use it.
Note: LFN service is not available from bare DOS, you should run DOS
session from graphic environment.
Warning: new service was tested in MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 95
(Chickago) only. It should run in the same manner under, let's
say, DOS 2.1 or Windows NT, but I did not verify it.
2) Integrated bugfixes/enhancements in ASPI (especially for Windows
environment) from Nelson Bolyard (see also file thanks.to).
In particular, program prints progress indicator in "very verbose"
mode (specify -v flag twice or more).
In case of problems you may enforce old regime with new "slow"
parameter, e.g. "tar tvf aspi:slow".
