Problem is that Win32 will not change the file times of a read-only file (this is okay on Unix). I've put a simple fix (see below) in my copy of tar to make files writable when created to avoid this (the final modes get set a second time anyway after the file times have been changed).

It's just sitting there anonymously. The .exe is dated 2/26/94 so it can't be a particularly recent version... Regards, Natan.
