And which other unices even have > the -I option in tar? My point is that the -I option *doesn't* mean "uncompress this file using bzip2" for anything other than GNU tar. Now that it doesn't mean that for GNU tar either, people are complaining. I think they probably shouldn't have been using -I to start with, at least not as a matter of habit or in scripts that might live for any decent length of time or have an application on any non-GNU system. -- Sam Couter | Internet Engineer | http://www.topic.com.au/ sam@topic.com.au | tSA Consulting | OpenPGP key available on key servers OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C
