What do you think about tar/cpio/pax? with gnutar, (the default tar in FBSD), you have to specify the -M option (if I remember well, it cannot work with compression -z/-Z) - this is a nonstandard method. with cpio, you don't need any special, it can generate multivolume archive with pax, the same is true. cpio's and pax's method is standard in the UNIX-world. -- Gabor Zahemszky <zgabor@CoDe.hu> -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.
