Tab completion adds the slash, but not the dot, which is the issue here. I've noticed that "foo/." does force gtar to archive the dir target of a symlink, which may explain the usage. In particular, mkdir("foo/.") always fails, hence the need for an additional check. (I'm considering reworking this code to explicitly check for and remove a trailing "/." sequence before trying to create the dir.) >>+ if (stat(name, &st) == 0 && S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) > ^^^^^^^ > Double spaces. Done on purpose. I find it makes such expressions easier to read. (The larger space visibly reflects the lower precedence and breaks the larger expression into easier-to-scan phrases.) If there's concensus that this is wrong, of course, I'll happily change it. Tim
