Sun wrote a special version of tar for the RoadRunner.  The "bar" command
(does anyone know what it stands for?) should suit your needs.  It does
everything that tar does plus a few things: 1) spans output volumes
(floppy only pre 4.0.1) 2) allows compression of files (via pack) 3) and
some other things I can't remember.

Be warned, the bar commands created by Snap are buggy.  rtfm, then write
your own.
