This is a feature SCO added to tar. All Sysv r 3.2 vendors
for the 386 added this in order to be xenix compatible.
I would like to know if anyone added this feature
(-k option to tar) to pax. I really need a program
that will read sco tar made diskettes and put them in a different
directory using pax' -s flag.
