I can't come up with a scenario for this, but this doesn't mean there isn't one. Do you have a stronger reason than "I don't know how this could be useful"? Hmmm... perhaps mounting a mfs disk, untaring something to it, searching for the right files... whatever, I think we should keep it in /rescue, but I will be quiet if someone removes it. > - tar, pax (w/{bz,g}zip) can do everything GNU tar can. POLA, people use tar more often than pax. I know a lot of people which haven't ever used pax, but they know how to use tar very good. I agree with you about the other listed programs.
