  My mv/ln will also do it and it handles subdirectories just fine.
  Mine is for the 6809 version of OS9 though.  It does have complete
  C source though.

  Has anybody tried it yet?  I have only received one mail message asking
  how to unpack it (Scott Mcgee).  I replied but it didn't go through.

  To unpack the archive you must uudecode it.  Then you just use the OS9
  ar command to extract the contents.
