Hi there!

This is a rather quick port of GNU cpio 2.0. It's capable of dumping
symbolic links, but no hard-link, generated by Commodore's "makelink".
You can use the "find"-utility which comes with Steve Koren's SKsh
to produce the file-list used for the file-list:

> find dh0: -print | cpio -o >arc-file

If you have symbolic links on dh0: (to continue above example), find
will complain. This can be fixed by adding another command to the pipe:

> find dh0: -print | sed "s/find: can't open //g" | cpio -o >arc-file

(It's your problem how you run the pipe; use "csh" and you'll have no
problems...).

That's it!


Have fun,

         Hubert
