Hello,
It seems like the following tar version
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.12.msdos.exe does not handle long filenames
on Windows NT computers (Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 5 French) :
>dir :
...
30/03/00 09:28 80 404 ipsn-des-n-015-066.jpg
...
>tar cvf a.tar ipsn-des-n-015-066.jpg
tar: Cannot add file ipsn-des-n-015-066.jpg: No such file or directory
(ENOENT)
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
If I shorten the filename to the old MS-DOS way (8 characters + extension)
("rename ipsn-des-n-015-066.jpg ipsn-des.jpg"), "tar cvf a.tar ipsn-des.jpg"
is OK. If I don't shorten the filename, and create a second file called
ipsn-des.jpg, then "tar cvf a.tar ipsn-des-n-015-066.jpg" takes ipsn-des.jpg
and not ipsn-des-n-015-066.jpg (it acts like "tar cvf a.tar ipsn-des.jpg").
I have tested this on two Windows NT computers.
tar does not have this problem on Windows 2000 French and US.
Have you heard about it ? Is there any solution ?
Thanks a lot.
