By checking my script, I have just realized that the strange behaviour comes from somewhereelse:
let us assume that dummy.tar.gz is an archive file of the directory `dummy', if I do under Win98: 1] mkdir -p dum 2] ln -s dum dummy 3] tar -zvxf FOO/dummy.tar.gz then the directory dum is removed. The step 3] worked fine a few months ago. To quickly fix it, I do: 3p] tar -kzvxf FOO/dummy.tar.gz Did I miss something ?
