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. ( As far as i can remember
this is allowed. )
