Peace, brother... Err, pax(1). -bash-3.00$ uname -a SunOS tb3 5.10 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440 -bash-3.00$ bunzip2 -c Python-2.4.2.tar.bz2 |pax -r pax: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype This message refers to the links in Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/ide Apart from that, pax extracts it the same way as gtar.
