Sorry.
Actually, the problem that he has here is that "xof" were the options specified on his commandline. In effect, he was trying to extract a V7 tar archive from the file usr/doc/xfonts-100dpi/copyright. If this filespec is present on the system, I doubt that it's a tarfile. :) You'll probably get better results using xO and then the filename in the tar archive for the copyright file. (This is, of course, presuming that your tar is compiled with stdin/stdout as the default device.) -- Bryon Roche, Kain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
