- This is an announcement for the MSDOS version version of PAX version 2.
- See the README file and the man pages for more information on how to
- run PAX, TAR, and CPIO.
-
- For those of you who don't know, pax is a 3 in 1 program that gives the
- functionality of pax, tar, and cpio. It supports both the DOS
- filesystem and the raw "tape on a disk" system used by most micro UN*X
- systems. This will allow for easy transfer of files to and from UN*X
- systems. It also support multiple volumes. Floppy density for
- raw UN*X type read/writes can be specified on the command line.
-
- The source will eventually be posted to one of the source groups.
-
- Be sure to use a blocking factor of 20 with pax-as-tar and B with
- pax-as-cpio for best performace.
