Hello Leonard, Please. See this link ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/testscripts/ I'm searched it in http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/star.html In ftp directory was placed tar test archives. Check tar.c with it :) I searched much more bugs with this tests. -- Best regards, pavelsh mailto:pavelsh at mail.ru
