   Hello gnu people....


   I love the gnu cpio program. One feature I would like to see (if possible
   in the future) would be the use of both the -t and -r flags, so that I
   could see what is going by (I suppose unconditionally), then rename based
   on a regexp. The rational is to allow me to see if the stuff on that cpio
   archive is from the correct workstation (in my case).

   Perhaps I will poke around more in the sources; it should be an easy mod.
   It saves having to find the correct archive on an 8mm tape, then backing
   up! 

   thanks again for all the great code

   harry
