Hi,
	Does anyone out there use Unix tar on 1.44Mb floppies to
transfer files to a PC? If so could you tell me how to do it, because I
keep getting directory checksum errors and the like on archives that are
fine on the 'side' (Unix or PC) that created them. I have tried a few
TAR's on the PC, of which tar4dos gets closest. Close but no cigar that
is....
