Star archiver

Star 1.5.73 Star is the fastest tar archiver for UNIX =========================================== 14/May/2006 - Yuri Dario Contents -------- Star is the fastest tar archiver for UNIX. The OS/2 port features full support for 64bit file I/O and ability to backup and restore OS/2 EAs. The main program is named star_fat.exe, if you rename it to tar.exe (or gnutar.exe, ...) it will change his default behaviour (included are symlinks, but they will not work without proper setup/tools). History: -------- 1.5.73 first public release System requirements: -------------------- - eComStation 1.0,1.1,1.2 - OS/2 Warp - 32bit tcpip stack Installation ------------ Unzip the files on your disk: they can be placed everywhere. The included rexx scripts allow a rotation scheme for backups. Known problems -------------- - This kind of reports /xxx/xxx/xxx: invalid arguments means that the file was locked and it has been not possible to backup EAs. Support ------- Since this is a OpenSource freeware product there are no formal support options available. Donations --------- Since this software is ported for free, donations are welcome! you can use PayPal to donate me and support OS/2 developement. See my homepage for details, or ask :-) At least, a post card is welcome! =============================================================================== Yuri Dario http://www.os2power.com/yuri
