So there _is_ a POSIX spec for tarchives? Is the spec available, or is this yet another pay-to-play "standard"? I've gone looking for specs for tar before, but each time I have, I've been unable to find anything that isn't behind a paywall of one sort or another (and thus a total nonstarter for me). Admittedly, I haven't looked recently. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
