I don't know about the linux version of tar, but I encounted the error
"path name too long" on the NeXTSTEP version of tar; but then I used the
gnutar instead and everyting was fine...
However, I have never encountered any problems like that in Linux. BTW,
why do you have links for the Mac Program? Just Curious... are these
links symbolic links or hard links? of course I don't recommend using any
links at all, but if required, to use symbolic links instead of hard links.
Sorry, I went off subject...
