Tar WJFFM too:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\dk>tar
tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
Try `tar --help' for more information.
C:\Documents and Settings\dk>
--------------------------------<snip!>--------------------------------
I'm using a fairly recent cvs build (20050804).
If I were you I'd suspect that Symantec/Norton software that was blocking
your earlier email! :-P
[ ... with apologies to the South Park movie ]
Sheila: Times have changed
Our software's getting worse
It won't obey our commands
It just wants to crash and burn
Sharon: Should we blame the government?
Liane: Or blame society?
Dads: Or should we blame the images we install from CD?
Sheila: No, Blame Symantec!
Everyone: Blame Symantec!
Sheila: With all their beady little eyes
And their firewall full of lies
Everyone: Blame Symantec! Blame Symantec!
Sheila: We need to form a full assault
Everyone: It's Symantec's fault!
Sharon: Don't blame me
For my son Stan
He used their anti-virus
And now he's off to join the Klan!
Liane: And my boy Eric once
Took Norton's advice on PC Health
But now when I see him he tells me to reboot myself!
Sheila: Well, Blame Symantec!
Everyone: Blame Symantec!
Sheila: It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since Norton/McAfee came along
Everyone: Blame Symantec!
Blame Symantec!
..... continues ad nauseam, or until you finally uninstall it .....
cheers,
