Yes, but it suffered from the same problem. (I think MKS is using shared source
for both tar and cpio). The problem is that it tries to store/copy . and .. and
that results in a "duplicate" in the destination and ends with an error. I
started to look at porting GNU tar, but there are file characteristics (meta
data) that needs to get "attached" to each file, and I wasn't sure how to
do that. I've figured out what HP tar does and may be able to extend GNU
tar to do the same ... but still haven't tried it.
