V1.3 (19.04.1996): - V1.1/1.2 had a serious bug in archive creation,
since I did not insert the "#ifdef AMIGA" code
fragments, which Ed Berger added to access
devices and paths in an AmigaDOS-conformeous way
(-> Stefan Becker, stefanb@yello.ping.de,
who seemed to be the only one actually
*creating* archives with GNUtar ?!)
Fixed by adding the specific parts of 1.09-create.c
to 1.11.2.-"create.c" only
- GNUtar could not extract any files containing
":" in their names, since AmigaDOS would think
these were actually devices (or bad device-names
containing more than one ":").
Fixed within "extract.c" where these additional
":" will be replaced by "_", also giving a
warning message.
(-> Christopher P. Parris, CPP1233@tntech.edu)
- Why did I port such an old version ?
(-> Kjell Irgens, kjelli@stud.cs.uit.no)
Well, first I had not newer sources. Then, when
I found one, I tried to port 1.11.8 (yesterday),
but it seems as if the compilter produces broken
code with unreproduceable crashes.
It was a lot easier fixing 1.11.2 instead of
straightly porting 1.11.8 with these fixes.
Nevertheless, it may follow-up.
