At the moment, tar does not understand translators. If you could get this working (under both the hurd and gnu/linux), that would be great. Additionally, executing compressed executables goes not work at the moment (it appears to be a bug in the exec server), you could also check that out. -Neal -- Neal H Walfield University of Massachusetts at Lowell [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
