Germany Some months ago i ported PAX to MINIX ( ST version ). There were several bugs, especially in handling links, which i fixed. This version compiles to less than 64K text. After unsing pax some month without problems, i posted the fixes to the author of pax. Since then i use pax as tar to backup (and restore) my harddisk. Pax read or write also compatible tar- archives which can be read by BSD or SYS V tars. Because of crashing my /hd1 i have only the fixed sources here. If there is enough interest i could post them.
