2805.0. "tar" by WJG::GUINEAU (Only obvious to the casual observer) Mon Aug 07 1989 12:45

Pete Pernod has sent me a version of Amiga tar.

It's at   WJG::AMIGA:TAR.UUE

It's been UUENCODED so you'll need to UUDECODE it on the Amiga.  I can
make a zoo of the decoded tar if anyone want's it.

2805.2Oops!WJG::GUINEAUOnly obvious to the casual observerMon Aug 07 1989 16:015
Sorry. I think it's supposed to be .UUE for the encoded file name? Right?

I'll fix it to not lead others astray...

    Tried to copy and got the following:--
    
  $SPOOL
  COPY WJG::AMIGA:TAR.UUE DISK$USER:[S_GOLDSTEIN.AMIGA.ARC]*.*
  %FTSV-E-OPENOUT, error opening DISK$USER:[S_GOLDSTEIN.AMIGA.ARC]TAR.UUE;1
    as output
    
  -RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation
  S_GOLDSTEIN  job terminated at  7-AUG-1989 21:06:02.30
    
    This was taken from the log file ...
    
    I checked the PROTECTION and it had world with read so what is
    happening

The error is on your side. The message says it can't open the OUTPUT file.

Is that dirtectory ( DISK$USER:[S_GOLDSTEIN.AMIGA.ARC) protected?

I have a tarread.exe program at wjg::x11r4:

It will extract files from a tar archive.
