I have a similar need, but I don't think this will work for me.  I have 
discovered that if the bin01 is extracted onto a disk <40MB (mine is 39
and a bit) then it will not all fit on.  The manuals are missing and 
stuff like termcap out of /usr/share/misc are missing.  Is there any way
that I can extract only the last few files only from the floppies?

Of course, no termcap-no vi :-{

So, I ftp'd the termcap from the ~/filesystem/usr/share/misc directory
on my local friendly server (src.doc.ic.ac.uk).  vi then complains that
there is no ':up=:' defined for the terminal.  Anybody got any ideas?
