Tar problem

[Kerry Menzel]

Hi,

I am trying to read a GNU Tar from a DLT 4000 tape drive. I get the
following errors when reading the tar. I am able to read the archive with
WinTar, so I am fairly confident the archive is ok. WinTar lists it as a GNU
tar, so I think it's compatible?

Do I need to turn on any options to read this?

I am using Cygwin DLL 1.1.4 and tar from Cygwin version 1.13.2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kerry Menzel
