- 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.
