for people who are having trouble getting files out of the 386bsd 0.1
cpio archives, you'd probably be best off getting 386bsd's cpio, and
compiling that... I've found that it compiles fine on, say, DECs,
and that it works...
the files you want are:
(from agate.berkeley.edu)
pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/filesystem/usr/src/usr.bin/cpio/cpio.c
pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/filesystem/usr/include/paths.h
put them in the same directory, and compile with:
cc -o cpio -I. cpio.c
the use:
cat <files> | uncompress | cpio <options>
to extract/list the files.
hope that helps those of you who want the 386bsd files, on other
machines... 8-)
Chris
