Welcome.

I wanted to test further but I am in the middle of making a new "how to use code tags and format posts video" for unix.com, and have been having some issues with rendering today; so my entire day has been wasted rendering video. But the good news is that "eventually" we will have a new "how to use code tags" video Smilie

Sorry, if my post(s) on this GNU tar issue are not fully tested, as I have a lot of balls up in the air right now, video, code changes, mobile CSS for the site and more..... but I did finally take a closer look at the GNU tar PDF while video was rendering.

Cheers
