It works great, except for searching within archives. When I use Linux, there is a program called dds2tar that uses an MTSEEK call to position the heads within an archive so it can extract files very quickly. However, fbsd does not have this. Is there a patch or another program which can handle this task? -- Marijn --- Getting up is merely a stage of going to bed Please also cc to my address To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
