The problem is that the z is after the f - I would think that it would be a problem. Sure enough, tar thinks I am able to open a file named 'z'. GNU doesn't want people using a leading '-'. I figure that's for political reasons. Other commands need a '-' for options. Consider if you omit the '-' on 'ls -l' you get 'l: no such file or directory.' Why try to get people to omit the '-' when using tar? Long (--) options are nice, but they take too much typing. > Bill
