Hi! ---- Which "tar" version was used to pack the X11R6.8.0 tarballs ? I am just asking because there are several incompatibilities between the various versions of "tar" (many of them caused by GNU tar which has extensions none of the other tar versions understand... ;-( ) and I'd like to avoid the h*ll in which Mozilla.org resides in (their "tar.gz" tar archives (created with GNU tar) can only properly be unpacked using "pax" or "star" on non-GNU platforms). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [email protected] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
