Package: dar
Severity: normal

Hi again,

This bug is really only half fixed. The wording of the message is a bit clearer 
now, though it could be improved if the answer was "Yes | No", for example, 
rather than "OK | Cancel". Cancel implies cancelling an operation in progress 
(i.e. the program itself - this was my original interpretation of the message), 
rather than denying a proposed action.

But also, the regex the program is using to detect whether slices of old 
archives exists catches too many cases. Again I was in the situation where I 
had an archive titled such as "example.large" transforming to "example". 
dar_xform has no need to complain about this situation. I can only presume the 
regex is parsing the ".large" part of the name as the slice number, rather the 
real slice number that immediately follows it.

Peace,
Brendon
