This is a workable cross-platform solution.  I use this from time to time.

However...One potential "gotcha" is that if you exceed the character limit
of tar, you will lose files and hierarchy in when a directory tree is tar'd.
This is addressed with GNU tar.

Does anyone know of a good (preferably scriptable) GNU tar port to for the
Macintosh?  (needs to be able to tar/untar)

I know of some standard tar utils, but they suffer the problem described
problem described above.

Thanks,

Taylor
