By popular demand, I've created a shell script that builds a directory with a variety of interesting and unusual things in it. The script is called "TarTest.sh" and it can be downloaded from: http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/src/ Note that this script does some pretty obscure and sometimes unpleasant things. Expect to do a little editing to get it to work on your system, and expect to experiment a bit with tar options to try to find a way to get your tar program to archive as many of the details as possible. Thanks in advance for all your help, Tim Kientzle
