Re: VMS Tar/Compression Behavior
The latest version of TAR utulities
1. VMSTAR.EXE (ALPHA)and
2. VMSTAR.EXE (for VAX) is available in this HP link. Download it and it will work fine.

I am not sure what version of Tar are you using. Anyway the link I attached has all kind of compression and decompression utility VAMTAR (for VAX, ALPHA), and UNZIP, ZIP and GZIP for VAX, Alpha, I64.

Re: VMS Tar/Compression Behavior
probably won't make much sense on a non-VMS
system, I'll assume that the destination
system is VMS, too.
I doubt that VMSTAR can preserve the RMS
attributes of a file (like record format).
The Info-ZIP Zip and UnZip programs can. Use
the Zip "-V" option for this.

Re: VMS Tar/Compression Behavior
I have download and attached VMSTAR.ZIP file, this version is 3.4-1. You can use this VMS TAR after unzip it.
If you want you can download unzipped(vmstar.exe) from the link I mentioned earlier.

Re: VMS Tar/Compression Behavior
I apologize for the confusion. I am working in a VMS environment that is shared by multiple users and I don't have the privs. to download/install that code. I was hoping that someone had run into similar problems in the past.

document, so I can't see about what you're
talking there.

In my experience, VMS users use VMSTAR
primarily to unpack tar archives created on
non-VMS systems. Until someone shows me that
VMSTAR can preserve RMS file attributes, I'll
continue to believe that it's not a good tool
for general use on VMS, such as VMS-VMS file
exchange. If no one uses it that way, no one
is likely to have run into similar problems.

Which privileges do you lack? You seem
to have some Internet access. All you
should need for installation is some disk
quota
As it's probably hopeless, whay are you
still playing with VMSTAR?

Is this some new meaning of "work"?
