I wasn't aware of that. Thanks.
With tar and cpio, ar apparently fell out of use
as a general
archiver, and today it's only used for libraries of relocatable
object files.
'ar' is alive and well as the archive format for .deb files though, so it
could be argued that it's actually hugely in use as an archiver all across
the world :)
Bye, Arno.
