Typically, gnutar is called by amgtar. Amgtar includes lists of gnutar messages it can ignore and should not show to you. But this can be easily tripped up by simple changes in the message format, eg. an extra space or a case change. Check the man page for amgtar to see the lists on messages and for the way to make local changes to them. Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie [email protected] 11226 South Shore Rd.
