This seems to be working:
bzip2 -c - <4.19.71-rt24-v7l+.tar >4.19.71-rt24-v7l+.tar.bz2
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 4038000640 Nov 11 10:05 4.19.71-rt24-v7l+.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 780468224 Nov 11 14:33 4.19.71-rt24-v7l+.tar.bz2
No drama yet. Big grin though. ;-)

Thanks Michael. When this is done I'll move it to download space and
await the next error report. But since this tarball is slightly bigger
that the first tarball I made from that exact source, I'm assuming the
error some miscue caused has been fixed. The tarball gives a good list
for a tar tf.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
