A question about tar; Is it possible to un-tar to a file systems
other than the the one that was tar-ed from?  Situation:
I need to re-divvy may st4096, when I first set up xenix, I put
about 67000 or so blocks on the root system and 70000 or so on
the /u system, now I have acquired a fair amount of software that
resides on the root (integra, word, the development system, sco professional,
etc...) I am thinking of removing the /u all together and just having
a root system so that I will be less likely to run short of space next
time I install an update or something.
