has this already been discussed? I just updated a machine to OSF/1 V3.0.
when I tried untarring an archive I created on the OSF/1 machine
on a Sun [SunOS4.1.3] it wouldn't create the directory hierarchy.
is there some compatibility switch I should specify on the command line or
is the new command broken? is the solution to install the obsoleted command
subset that contains the old tar?

thanks,
