Guys,

I really need to know what version of tar i am using in our HP B.11.11 box machine (model = 9000/800/rp8420 ). Do you know how? (tar -version won't work since it's an hp box)

Thanks in advance

I am not sure if you can get the version of the HPUX default shipped tar version but if you happen to have the gnu tar on your system ("gtar"), then you can get the version by:
gtar --version
