Thanks for the info! I just found out you can use tar from the knowledge 
base on a Qube, so I will try it on a raq. Nice to know it is working 
for you.

In case anyone is interested, here's the url:

I assume it will wrap so you'll have to cut and paste to get the whole 
thing, obviously..

And thanks for the mt hint.

Cheers
