Hi Folkss
Need to back up some files. Whats the simplest standard way of backing up and compressing files across several floppys ?
Tar / gzip ? Man pages show nothing on spaning over several floppys?
I got a simple utility from the sunsite archives called "pak" ################################################### DESCRIPTION: Pak is a very simple archiving program to store and extract files from a multi-volume archive.
