Option -y -j

[Matthias Leuschner]

Hi!

Okay, okay I am an absolute UNIX beginner. I am working on an Apple
Macintosh using Mac OS X 10.2.5.

I wanted to archive and bzip2 a folder containing lots of text files.

"gnutar -c -y -f artweb01_jap.tar art\ Web01\ jap"

When I enter the -j or -y option, I always get the message from guntar:

gnutar: invalid option -- y
Try `gnutar --help' for more information.

The display of the help option does not state anything about the -y or -j
options, but the man file does.

My version is:

tar (GNU tar) 1.13

Is there a difference between an older gnutar version and a newer man file?

Thanx for your patience

ML
