    Admins,

    Has anyone found a bug with tar in V5.1b PK3??

    I have issued the command

    tar cvf filename.tar .

    And tar is proceeding to create an archive which includes
    filename.tar. It didn't use to do this did it?
    It used to say Error: filename.tar same as archive, or some such.

    Am I finally loosing my marbles?

    Lawrie
