un-tar question
Hi all,
My examples.tar has about 20 directories. I don't want to un-tar the entire examples.tar. Is there a way to un-tar just a directory named "java" from examples.tar?

Please let me know
JAK

Some tars allow a syntax like tar xf examples.tar java -- see if you have GNU tar on your system (might be called gtar)
