Hi all,

Does anyone know what this error message from a tar archive
means? There is nothing in the man pages for tar on this.

tar xvf rsnsw.tar
        studentships.html
        style_guide.html
        tar: Archive value 2872975643983 is out of time_t range
-2147483648..2147483647
        talks_2000/
        talks_2000/talk_Blank.html
        ...etc...
        tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

It occurs for both t and x tar options. Is it complaining
about some problem with a time stamp perhaps?
The archive itself seems to have extracted OK.

Mike
