V1.99 (Dump/Restore Update)

Index: sbin/{dump,restore} 4.4BSD-alpha
Description:
A new version of dump and restore is now available which fixes
several major bugs:
In some instances, the NET/2 dump would fail to include unchanged
intermediate directories making it difficult to extract files on
the tape. For example, if /usr/src/sbin/dump/dump.h changed, but
sbin had not changed, sbin might not be on the tape. The result
would be that files and directories below sbin, though on the
tape, could not be restored.
Restore now fully supports POSIX 1003.2 glob'ing. This has been
done by replacing the adhoc glob code in restore with use of the
glob(3) function in the C library. Note that the C-library glob
function needed some minor (backward compatible) modifications to
support restore. Thus, the modified glob.{c,h,3} is included in
this distribution. It can either replace the glob in your existing
C library, or be compiled separately in the restore directory.
Backward compatible changes have been made to dump and restore to
support the added features in the 4.4BSD filesystems (including
32-bit uid/gid, 64-bit file sizes, and file types in directories).
