1650.0. "UNIX tar file to AMIGA" by AITG::WISNER (Paul Wisner :optimize '((speed 3) (safety 0))) Thu Sep 01 1988 22:22

    I'm looking for a reasonable way to get the files in a UNIX .tar
    file to my Amiga.  I think the optimal solution would be to arc
    the tar file, copy it to the amiga, de-arc it and run TAR on it.
    Does anyone know of or have TAR for the Amiga?  
    
    Or if I could run ARC on UNIX I could then run TAR on it, ARC it
    and copy it to the Amiga.

Check Fish disk #53 for TarSplit.  I never used it so I won't
comment on how it works.

    Is anybody out there willing to upload TarSplit from Fish disk #53??
1650.3I have "TARSPLIT", but...DECEAT::LANDINGHAMNo Dukes.Mon Sep 05 1988 14:128
    I don't have FF#53, but I do have a file called TARSPLIT on one
    of my older disks; I believe that I copied it directly from a Usenet
    Amiga archive node using uucp when I worked at a company with a
    machine on the Usenet.  It must've gotten slightly munged somewhere,
    because it won't run on the Amiga right now (get "not an object
    module" message).  It may need to be chopped to the correct file
    size (which I'm afraid I don't know), or, worse, it may be incomplete.
    I'll upload if you want to download and try to get it running.

    Thanks for the offer.  I think I'll wait to this weekend and drop
    by Memory Location for the Fish Disk.
