When you untar it, the files will be all over the place again. I think that it would be better if Mark created a sensible structure for his document. Eg, foo.lyx images/bar.gif biblio.bib Even if the bar.gif, biblio.bib were symolic links. Can 'tar' be convinced to copy the file pointed to my a sym link? -- Angus
