Let me phrase this request in two different manners, appropriate to
the groups I've posted to:
comp.unix.questions:
I have a directory tree that contains very long pathnames, > 128 characters.
How do I archive this?
Tar and gnutar only give me 100 characters, while cpio gives me 128.
I know about the -C option. Not acceptable.
I do not want to have to change the names.
*.sources.wanted:
Does anyone know of a PD tape archiver that has no arbitrary name length limit?
(or, at least, so large that I am never likely to encounter it. Say 1024 characters)
