Message-ID: <1432@uakari.primate.wisc.edu> Date: 9 Jan 90 20:21:20 GMT Organization: UW-Madison Primate Center Lines: 9 Hm, I don't seem to be able to "tar r" anymore after upgrading from 1.2 to 3.1. "Archive backspace error". What gives? The tar tape I'm trying to append to was written under 1.2; is there some special compatibility flag I need to specify, or is tar just broke? (8200, TU81+).
