Re: Regarding tar and split

Hi Sean,

You might consider using Lha. It does the same as tar and bzip2 together
(although you can disable compression).
It has a simple syntax. You can also view the contents of the archive and
even extract one single file from it.

Example (suppose I have a 'work' dir with a.o. the file 'abc' in it):

cd ~
lha a work.lha work/          (pack and compress entire dir incl. sub dirs)
lha v work.lha                   ( view contents)
lha x work.lha work/abc    (extract only the file work/abc from the archive).

Manon.
