I downloaded the 2.0.1 update from aux.support.apple.com.  I upgraded my
system with no problems.   The multiple monitor support works great.  There
is one annoyance however:  The "o" option on tar doesn't do anything.  (That's
the option changes the owner/group of the extracted files to that of
the running user.)

Luckily, I hadn't upgraded all of our machines so I was able to get a version
of tar that works off of one of our old machines.  Anyway, I would recommend
to anyone upgrading to 2.0.1 to save /bin/tar before doing so.

Does anyone know what enhancement the 2.0.1 version of tar has over the 2.0
version?
