Anyone's comments or help welcomed:

Ok, so I finally (with FilePro's help) figured out why FilePro didn't work
on Linux:

Apparently the tar program they use to create the backup of the FilePro
program files is different from the Linux versionof tar.  The Linux version
won't (?here's where I need the help) extract the files that spanned from
one diskette to the next.  Thus, the files that spanned disks were not
extracted.  They are going to e-mail the unextracted files and Filepro
should work.  The question is:  How do I get Linux tar to extract files that
span diskettes?

Sincerely,


Robert Jones
