Re: Re: DDAR, ARF ARF 2...[Answer]

["Shmern" <shmern@xxxxxxx>]

I got a windows version of Tar and re-Tarred the files, but... the
resultant
file is 3.9 Mb !!!! the original was 1.8Mb So I don't want to use it !!!!

What is the implication of putting a duff file as the receiver.arf , if you
replace it with the original one will all be well again ?

i.e. does the DDAR pull this file down EVERYtime ?
