Re: Tar question

[Erich Schroeder <erich@museum.state.il.us>]

Sort of answered my own question. I downloaded and install star:

http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/star.html

an enhanced version of tar that includes a name-modification option:

     -s replstr
          Modify file or archive member names named by a  pattern
          according  to the substitution expression replstr.  The
          format of replstr is:

               -s /old/new/[gp]
