	The other option which has been mentioned here before is to
	get a hold of gnutar.  We use it here and were able to recover
	from a pretty much fully wiped out disk.  You can pick up the
	compressed tar with anonymous ftp from cmcl2.nyu.edu (128.122.128.2) 
	in pub/iris/sgigtar.tar.Z.  I forget, the binary may already
	be included.  If it is, it was compiled on a 4D/80GT under 3.1B.
	We haven't had to recompile under 3.2 though.  Good luck.
