I need to know if NetBSD's pax archive tool supports file size greater than 
8GB.  If not, is there a plan to provide support for it in the near future.  If 
you do, which version of pad and how can I get it.

Thanks

Just try to use pax to archive file size greater than 8GB - I used ustar format 
(which is the default in freebsd pax utility).
