In fact, I was thinking it might even be possible to bypass the "temporary
UNIX files" and pipe directly from "pax -r" to SMPPTFIN. I was pleasantly
mildly surprised to discover the following works on a GIMZIP archive:
pax -rvE -s '!\./SMPPTFIN!/dev/fd/1!' */SMPPTFIN <*.SMPMCS.pax.Z 2>foo |
dd cbs=80 conv=unblock | less
So pax might extract to the input of a pipe, and RECEIVE could allocate
SMPPTFIN to the output of that pipe.
Blessedly, pax appears to log and report errors on stderr rather than stdout.
(John M. would appreciate my hackisness.)
