It builds fine and works fine, except that it chokes on archives with drive letters. eg: [M:\]tar -xvf e:\file.tar tar: e\:\\file.tar: Cannot open: I/O error tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting nowTry to use the '--force-local' tar option: `--force-local' Archive file is local even if it contains a colon. [M:\]tar -xvf e:\file.tar --force-local Does the error still persist?
Nope - works perfectly with --force-local. Is there a way to force the --force-local option :) Cheers, Paul.
