Of course, I'll test it again. With BSD-tar also (thanks to Tim Kientzle :-). Only once I found star more reliable than tar: when sending archive over network with netcat and terminating connection on receivers side (I forgot to set nc to automatic disconnect with -q), all symbolic links were created as zero-length files. It was some versions ago, and now GNU tar doesn't behave like this. But I can see, that star looks more like, for instance, SCO UNIX tar program (that's ok :-). Thank You for advice.
