When I try to run tar to extract files from an archive that is not in the current directory I get an error message cannot execute remote shell: no such file cannot open "file name": I/O error error is not recoverable: exiting now I have no idea what is wrong with the configuration. I have tried with COMMAND.COM, 4DOS , 4NT and BASH as the shells. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thank You Terrell -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
