Hi,
  Well, I'm sure that every once in a while you have a bonehead like
me that comes along.....

  On Tuesday, Aug29 at approximately 6pm I gtar'd my entire thesis
directory (~/thesis) on Athena and ftp'd it to my local machine.  I 
later rm'd all the files from Athena at about 12pm that night.  
However, when I ftp'd the tar file, I forgot to used the 'bin' option, 
so my tar file is corrupt.  So I have no thesis.  I have been trying 
to get gtar to work, but I think that is impossible.  The OLC people 
said to send you e-mail.  Does a backup of my ~/thesis directory between 
Aug29 6pm - Aug29 11:59pm exist????  Thanks very much.
