[LUG]Re: old tar.gz file giving me grief.

 

Dear Tom,

> tar -xf LispKit.tar

Might you be running that with sudo or otherwise as the root user? If
you use a non-root user, by default tar will write the file permissions
as if you had originally created the files - which is what I think you
want here :)

Best wishes,

Sebastian
