man pax says that ustar format handles filenames up to 99 characters and pathnames (filename + directory names + slashes) up to 250 characters. So why am I getting this message back from pax when I try to create a ustar-formatted archive? pax: File name too long for ustar /home/matt/.openoffice.org2.0/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/StartModuleWindowState.xcu It's 100 characters total, which would be too long for old-fashioned tar. But ustar should be fine with it. This is FC4, fyi. Thanks, Matt
