GNU tar does not supply documentation in man format, it is left to packagers whether to prepare one or not. Given that, please direct all inquires regarding tar manpages to packagers of the distribution you use. The authoritative tar documentation is in info format. Even if not included in distribution of your choice, it is always available online on http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual. > It doesn't really > matter how long it has been doing it for; wrong is wrong. Perhaps, it is or it is not. It just means I cannot all of a sudden change this default just because one of the usere deems it wrong. There well may be hundreds of others who do no share that opinion, or worse yet, who depend on that particular behavior of GNU tar. Regards, Sergey
