Hey! Emacs! Yo! This is -*- Text -*- !!!

This GNU tar 1.11.2. Please send bug reports, etc., to
|
||
|
|
bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. This is a beta-test release. Please
|
||
|
|
try it out. There is no manual; the release of version 1.12 will
|
||
|
|
contain a manual.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GNU tar is based heavily on John Gilmore's public domain tar, but with
|
||
|
|
added features. The manual is currently being written.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This distribution also includes rmt, the remote tape server (which
|
||
|
|
normally must reside in /etc). The mt tape drive control program is
|
||
|
|
in the GNU cpio distribution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions for Unix.
|
||
|
|
See the file NEWS for information on all that is new in this version
|
||
|
|
of tar.

Various people have been having problems using floppies on a NeXT. In
|
||
|
|
order to have them work right, you need to kill the automounting
|
||
|
|
program which tries to monut floppies as soon as they are added.

If you want to do incremental dumps, use the distributed backup
|
||
|
|
scripts. They are what we use at the FSF to do all our backups. Most
|
||
|
|
importantly, do not use --incremental (-G) or --after-date (-N) or
|
||
|
|
--newer-mtime to do incremental dumps. The only option that works
|
||
|
|
correctly for this purpose is --listed-incremental. (When extracting
|
||
|
|
incremental dumps, use --incremental (-G).)
|

If your system needs to link with -lPW to get alloca, but has
|
||
|
|
rename in the C library (so HAVE_RENAME is defined), -lPW might
|
||
|
|
give you an incorrect version of rename. On HP-UX this manifests
|
||
|
|
itself as an undefined data symbol called "Error" when linking cp, ln,
|
||
|
|
and mv. If this happens, use `ar x' to extract alloca.o from libPW.a
|
||
|
|
and `ar rc' to put it in a library liballoca.a, and put that in LIBS
|
||
|
|
instead of -lPW. This problem does not occur when using gcc, which
|
||
|
|
has alloca built in.
