Hi All,
I've compiled the latest Tar source for OS/2, and it's available from http://smedley.info/tar-1.15.1-os2.zip
This requires the Innotek GCC 3.3.5 rc1 runtime, that's available from http://smedley.info/libc06r1.zip
This build of tar fixes the @longlink@ errors on archives with long filenames that exist with the old tar.exe
There are issues with archives where you specify a drive letter, ie e:archive.tar - to resolve these - add --force-local to the command prompt, or add 'set tar_options=--force-local' to config.sys to make this the default.
Cheers,
Paul.
