Star 1.5 Star is the fastest tar archiver for UNIX =========================================== 18/Dec/2009 - Yuri Dario Contents -------- Star is the fastest tar archiver for UNIX. The OS/2 port features full support for 64bit file I/O and ability to backup and restore OS/2 EAs. The main program is named star.exe, if you rename it to tar.exe (or gnutar.exe, ...) it will change his default behaviour (included are symlinks, but they will not work without proper setup/tools). History: -------- 1.5 2nd public release 1.5.73alpha first public release System requirements: -------------------- - eComStation 1.0,1.1,1.2 - OS/2 Warp - 32bit tcpip stack Installation ------------ Unzip the files on your disk: they can be placed everywhere. The included rexx scripts allow a rotation scheme for backups. Known problems -------------- - This kind of reports /xxx/xxx/xxx: invalid arguments means that the file was locked and it has been not possible to backup EAs. Support ------- Since this is a OpenSource freeware product there are no formal support options available. Donations --------- Since this software is ported for free, donations are welcome! you can use PayPal to donate me and support OS/2 developement. See my homepage for details, or ask :-) At least, a post card is welcome! =============================================================================== Yuri Dario http://www.os2power.com/yuri
