No GUI - Version: 1.13.19-1, 4/4/2007 02:04PM PST

Too bad the author(s) didn't compile this and make a GUI wrapper for it. And no, the INSTALL file that comes with this package doesn't have info the average person can follow. Also too bad the utility "freetar", which is someone else's implementation, has been yanked and can no longer be found. Anybody know of any utils that can zip, etc. a Mac file and retain its resource fork?
