Out of interest, do you have an idea how your .tar.bz2 got corrupted? If you get hundreds of files you are probably lucky. from the manpage I think these are (uncorrupted) blocks. you can simply cat * > x.tar and you have a chance that it works.. probably the tar file will be incomplete, so maybe you need to look at the tar manpage too, and find some options that make it less strict on errors. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
