Hi,
I hope it's ok to ask about `dired' here?
Why is it that when I try to `tar xvf' a file in dired (with
`!') I get:
tar: cannot open texfiles.tar.
?
Also the recursive deleting doesn't seem to work too well for
me. When I try to delete a non-empty directory I get:
(error Failed to recusively delete /nfs/alpha/mnt_c7d2s4/ugap114/tex/tmp)
1 of 1 deletion failed:
Tue Feb 22 12:33:31 1994 Buffer `tex'
Similarly if a do `! rm -r RET' on the directory tmp/, the
deletion fails to work (it used to under the dired that
comes FSF 19).
