Does anybody know if it would be possible to take a TAR file from a SCO Unix box and read and
successfully extract the data stored within it on a PC based Unix Platform ie.. linux..
thanks,

Yes it is, I did have a problem in '94 with Solaris 2.4 Intel reading
SCO tar files due to
block size but tar xivf <tar file> worked. I have not used it recently.
Moving tar files between
different versions of Unix has only been a problem recently when the
file was over 4GB due
to different file size limits.
1. Read AIX Tar Files on SCO Unix?
We have an RS/6000 running AIX. I need to send some files to a customer
that is running SCO Unix, and is not connected to the Internet. We both
have 8mm tape drives.
If I backup to tape using tar in AIX will they be able to read the same tape
in SCO Unix ?
Thanks,
