- You should have the following files:
-
- mtar.c - (MPW C source) An MPW tool for creating unix-compatible tar archives.
- By default, files are stored in the so-called macbinary format, which
- means that both forks of the macintosh file are stored, along with
- macintosh file info (type, creator, mac filename, file dates). This
- in turn means that you can untar the archive on unix, and download
- selected files using the 'macbinary' option of your favorite
- communication program.
- Of course there is an option of storing only data forks of files.
- Do 'mtar -H' for a short help message.
- muntar.c - (MPW C source) An MPW tool for extracting files from
- unix-compatible tar archives. You can extract individual files
- or unpack the whole archive. muntar will automatically recognize
- files stored in macbinary format, and 'unmacbinary' them so you get
- real macintosh files (both forks, etc.). Do 'muntar -H' for a short
- help message.
- makefile.hqx - A binhex'ed MPW make file for these two programs.
