Problems with Coherent 3.1.0 tar

Hello,

I just received the new Coherent 3.1.0. I transferred TAR-Files
from my 386/ix to Coherent to try to compile them or modify
the source to make it work. The TAR-Files were created with GNU-Tar.
To extract them I used the tar included with Coherent. But Co-Tar
crashes with checksum error or whatever (too fast on the screen and
too much errors) and afterwards I had recursive directories (if you
cd into them you are back where you come from) with owner 101 and
group DAEMON. The directories have the names of the normally ex-
tracted files, all the same size. 
When I extracted the TAR-Files with the Coherent version of GNU-Tar,
it all works.
Any Ideas ? 

Joachim

BTW: Thanks to all of you who made UNIX-PD-Software work on Coherent.
