I'm using real hardware and real star ... which may need this option
to force the issue :
-remove-first
Remove files before extraction. If this option is in
effect, star will remove files before extracting a file
from the archive. This is needed if you want to change
the file type or if you need to break a hard link. If
you do not use either -ask-remove or -force-remove
together with -remove-first, this option is useless and
no files will be removed.
I'm going to give that a try.
Also, I am getting curious to see what, if anything, is happening with
PSARC 2004/480 which was to integrate star into the wos.
