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);
                                  ^^^^^
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...
