Re: 7-zip for creating Zip files from the iSeries.

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

TAR extracts to relative pathnames.  So the files should be placed under 
whatever your CWD was when you ran the tar command.

That's why the instructions on my page have you do this:

   cd /
   tar xf /tmp/p7zip.tar

The "cd /" part sets your CWD to /.  Therefore the files shoudl appear 
in /usr/local

If you did not do the cd / beforehand, then the files will be in 
whatever your CWD was when you issued the 'tar' command.  Don't ask me 
what it was, I wasn't there.
