|
|
|
* Introduction
|
|
|
|
`msxtar' saves many files together into a single diskimage , and can
|
|
retrieve and update individual files from the image. It includes FAT16
|
|
support, the ability to access IDE-HD image partitions, automatic disk
|
|
compression/decompression.
|
|
|
|
msxtar generic options and descriptions are derived from GNU tar.
|
|
|
|
See file `COPYING' for copying conditions.
|
|
See file `INSTALL' for compilation and installation instructions.
|
|
See file `NEWS' for a list of major changes in the current release.
|
|
See file `THANKS' for a list of contributors.
|
|
|
|
** gzip and bzip2.
|
|
|
|
msxtar uses the gzip and bzip2 programs to read and write compressed
|
|
archives. If you don't have these programs already, you need to
|
|
install them. Their sources can be found at:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/
|
|
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2/
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bug reporting.
|
|
|
|
Send bug reports to <dhran@pi.be>. A bug report should contain
|
|
an adequate description of the problem, your input, what you expected,
|
|
what you got, and why this is wrong. Diffs are welcome, but they only
|
|
describe a solution, from which the problem might be uneasy to infer.
|
|
If needed, submit actual data files with your report. Small data files
|
|
are preferred. Big files may sometimes be necessary, but do not send them
|
|
to the report address; rather take special arrangement with the maintainer.
|
|
|
|
Your feedback will help us to make a better and more portable package.
|
|
Consider documentation errors as bugs, and report them as such. If you
|
|
develop anything pertaining to `msxtar' or have suggestions, let us know
|
|
and share your findings by writing to <dhran@pi.be>.
