I have to transfer the contents of my unix account to msdos. As I
have many directories and files I should like to do this as efficiently
as possible, i.e. I do not want to do a file transfer of each file!
Should I make a tar file of the my entire directory and use one of the
pd untar utilities to extract it or is there a better way? As I shall
be transferring things via modem (at 2400bps), I wouldn't mind some
compression as well.

Cheers,
-Graham
