Hi,

We have a problem using tar and compress on a directory generated
by the "piced" software from Mentor Graphics.

Scenario :

      $ tar Acf - picture | compress > picture.tar.Z

              - Tar the directory ( picture ) using the -A switch to
                conserve the APOLLO types.
              - Compress the resulting file.

      $ rm -r picture
      $ zcat picture.tar | tar Axf -

              - Uncompress it.
              - Untar it ( with -A switch ). 
              - The file type was not correctly restored and the file
                picture/sheet1.pic_$X has the "unstruct" type !!

 - Running PICED on the resulting directory gives us a strange APOLLO
   status code... It looks like unstruct type bothers quite a lot Mentor.

 - We tried to change the type to "rec" with the obty command, but it 
   didn't seem to work.
   To be precise, the result is the same if the file as the unstruct type
   or the rec type ...

 - Impossible to re-invoke piced on the resulting directory with the
   following error message : 


   $ piced picture

   Thanks for any idea, suggestion, help... (I have lost my picture !!)
