If those are out-of-date, you/someone should get a CHWiki account and
update them! :-)

Documentation skew from code has always been a problem...

Morning,

I am using enblock to create tap files from tar files.

Was a program ever written to convert tap files to tar files or
a Linux program that could read tap files?

I also see that writing to a tap file from Unix the size increases
when writing multiple files however when writing 1 file to the tap
file "tar cv0 ..." the tap file still remains at its larger size from the
previous larger writes. Is this what is expected?

Thanks,
Ken
