I don't maintain the NT port of Tar (I don't even use it), but I could
try to think what could be the cause of the problem, if only I knew what
the problem is. The above description just says "it fails" which is not
enough ;-) I need to know what does "fails" mean, exactly.
Also, what is TAS? Is it a network redirector which you use to mount a
Unix disk so it can be accessed from NT (or vice versa)?
