By checking my script, I have just realized that
the strange behaviour comes from somewhereelse:
let us assume that dummy.tar.gz is an archive file of the directory
`dummy',
if I do under Win98:
1] mkdir -p dum
2] ln -s dum dummy
3] tar -zvxf FOO/dummy.tar.gz
then the directory dum is removed.
The step 3] worked fine a few months ago.
To quickly fix it, I do:
3p] tar -kzvxf FOO/dummy.tar.gz
Did I miss something ?
Thanks inadvance,
