Portable archive interchange


ppaaxx is  an archiving utility  that reads and writes  ttaarr and ccppiioo
formats,  both  the traditional  ones  and  the extended  formats
specified  in  IEEE  document  1003.1.   It handles  multi-volume
archives and  automatically determines  the format  of an archive
while reading it.

ppaaxx supports  three user interfaces: ttaarr, ccppiioo,  and ppaaxx. The ppaaxx
interface was  designed by  IEEE  1003.2  as a compromise  in the
chronic  controversy over  which of  ttaarr  or  ccppiioo  interfaces is
superior.

ccoommmmaannddss, ccppiioo, ttaarr, uussttaarr

***** Notes *****

To avoid confusion with the traditional COHERENT ttaarr command, the
ttaarr command distributed with ppaaxx is renamed uussttaarr.

See the compressed  ttaarr archive /uussrr/ssrrcc/aalliieenn/ppaaxx.ttaarr.ZZ for full
documentation on ppaaxx, ccppiioo, and uussttaarr.
