Thanks Christopher,
That seems to work fine ( provided I have not altered the contents -
but that is something I need to check out further )
Regards
Tom

I am trying to generate a oar file based upon the folder from a

Try instead:
tar cvfz myoarfile.tar.gz */*
when you're in the directory.
This under most circumstances avoids including directory entries
into the
archive. At one stage the dearchiver was made to be a bit more
tolerant
of the input like that but the code appears to have regressed a bit.
Is this definitely the case right now? From which I last
effectively tested this (which wasn't that long ago), there
were no problem with directory entries in the tar. If this is no
longer the case then a bug report in Mantis with the
offending oar file attached would be much appreciated.
Occasionally you'll have oar files with deeper directory
hierarchies and you'll need
to firstly produce a file list and get send that to tar directly
to avoid
all the directories being included in the archive.
Regards,
Chris.
