Linus started trying to re-create Minix, not Unix. From tiny
acorns, mighty oaks grow.
Before linux, gnu tar was very useful if you wanted to tar up a
directory on a PC running dos or windows. Lots of people compiled
and installed tar (and grep, find, bash, and less) to use on sun
workstations.
Could you please whip up that new tar, when you have a chance?
I'd like to see command line switches for encryption, and a
command line switch for running in tar-1.12 compatibility mode so
amanda won't choke on it.
Oh, and write .po files in thirteen languages and port it to:
