Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: GNU Tar updated to v1.20

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

Paul Smedley has updated GNU Tar for OS/2 and eComStation to v1.20. 
http://www.smedley.info/os2ports/

"The Tar program provides the ability to create tar archives, as well as 
various other kinds of manipulation. For example, you can use Tar on 
previously created archives to extract files, to store additional files, or 
to update or list files which were already stored.

Initially, tar archives were used to store files conveniently on magnetic 
tape. The name "Tar" comes from this use; it stands for tape archiver. 
Despite the utility's name, Tar can direct its output to available devices, 
files, or other programs (using pipes), it can even access remote devices 
or files (as archives).

Additional information about the project, including links to the project 
development page and file downloads, is available from the GNU software 
directory. http://www.gnu.org/directory/tar.html "

Download GNU Tar v1.20 http://download.smedley.info/tar-1.20-os2.zip


REQUIRES: libc063.dll  - ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip

Please let Paul know if you find this software useful.  He needs user 
feedback to continue work on these projects.  He maintains a bug tracker 
for many projects at http://mantis.smedley.info  It just requires a simple 
registration.

many others) for OS/2 & eComStation, please consider making a donation
