} Oh ...

} Borland C's mkdir only has one arg; UNIX's has two. According to my
} interpretation of the UNIX man page for mkdir, you should change it to
} something like
} 
}            status = mkdir(filename,0755);
}                                   ^^^^^

The second field in the mkdir systems call is used to determine the
access permissions to the directory. Since Ms.Dos doesn't know about
multiple users, any value you plug in should be fine.  Be aware though
in U**X it will be a 3 digit octal number. I'll refrain from discussing
the various values for sake of brevity.

} There may be a more correct way to say "0755", but I think this will
} get you by. The options I can think of are using a #define'd symbol, or
} getting a value out of the tar file. I'll let one of the UNIX experts
} elaborate.
} 
} I handled djtarx pretty roughly when I was hacking it into zmangle, and
} some of the smaller pieces like this may have fallen onto the floor and
} are probably still stuck in the carpet. I sent it out thinking of it as
} an example of one way to mangle UNIX file names for DOS, but if anyone
} wants to use it for its intended purpose, that's great.
} 
} I have no idea whether it will run under GO32. An exercise for the
} reader...
