Traditionally, both tar and cpio have limitations, they're just different. Various "enhanced" versions of the file formats have evolved over the years, but there's no guarantee that they're portable between platforms. If you have a more modern archiver such as pax, that's a better choice. -Larry Jones I've changed my mind, Hobbes.
