I am using GNU tar version 1.05 - AK/SSB on a Windows_NT machine, while run MKS (korn shell) and trying to utilize the -z flag for compression and I get the following error (see below)
$ gtar -czvf backup.gtz *.avt : MSDOS can't use compressed or remote archives 1) Is this a bug in gtar? If so, does anybody know where I can download a later version gtar that does not have this problem or some other similiar utility. 2) Lets say I was running in a DOS shell, which I am not(using ksh) can somebody explain to me why this is not allowed. FYI, I downloaded the Solaris version of gtar and the command appears to work fine on that platform. Thanks in advance to all that answer this post 3) _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
