hi there, there is a strange bug in unvac from p9p. When you vac a file tree with the -a option, to have something like 2009/0311/yourtree, and then you unvac it with "unvac vacfile 2009/0311/yourtree/thefileyouwant", unvac dies with a segmentation fault. Apparently unvac creates the 2009 directory, but with r-xr-xr-x permissions, so it is not able to write to it. You have to manually create the 2009/0311 directory, with the right permissions, so unvac is able to put your files there. Note that if you do not create the 0311 directory inside 2009, then you have your segfault again, for the same reason as before. But when you have both directories, you can extract whatever you want without problems ;-) (really neat stuff, venti and its friends). Maybe I can send a patch for this, but I am not sure if my programming skills are good enough to start sending code to plan 9. Saludos
