If i might use the 1991 mips 3k sysVr4 unix thats on
my old sony
NeWS again as an example, its tar program cant write
or read from a file. its only provided function is to/from
the tape device to the file system,, how absurd !
Absurd? It is for making "tape archives..." :) On the other hand,
I'm sure there must be some way to make it work, though, if you
wanted an on-disk archive, I'm sure they would have expected you to
use ar. ;)
