Auf FTP.Informatik.TU-Muenchen.de[131.159.0.110] ist neu:

cpio-1.2.tar.Z  - Package description:
 
 This is GNU cpio. To compile it, edit the Makefile and type `make'.
 cpio.def is a linker definition file for the OS/2 version.
 cpio.cs is a compiler shell script for the OS/2 version with MSC 6.0.
 The compiler shell `cs' is a shareware program written by
 Kai-Uwe Rommel (rommel%informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de@relay.cs.net);
 it was posted in comp.binaries.os2 twice (two versions).
 makefile.pc is a makefile for MS C 6.00 and its NMAKE to create
 a MSDOS (not OS/2) version.
 rmt, the remote tape server (which must reside in /etc), is also
 included.
 The main advantages of GNU cpio over the Unix versions are:
 * It can access tape drives on other hosts using TCP/IP.
 * It can use any I/O block size, with `+block-size'.
 * `-o' and `-p' can copy symbolic links either as symbolic links or,
 with `-L', as the files they point to.
 * `-i' automatically recognizes ASCII, binary, and byte-swapped binary
 cpio archives, and skips any junk between files, to try to recover
 from corrupted archives.  `-b' and `-c' force it to only recognize
 binary (either byte ordering) or ASCII archives.
 * The output of '-itv' looks like 'ls -l'.
 * It accepts long-named options as well as traditional
 single-character options.
 Some features of other versions of cpio are missing from GNU cpio,
 including:
 * Byte swapping of data with `-i'.
 -b      swap bytes and 16-bit words within each 32-bit word
 -s      swap bytes within each 16-bit half-word (dd conv=swab can do this)
 -S      swap 16-bit words within each 32-bit word
 * The `-6' option to support Sixth Edition Unix cpio archives with `-i'.
 * An option to limit volume size, like afio -s.
