I downloaded the 386bsd sources, and have been trying to unpack them
on a SGI. I understand they are in compressed cpio format?
I tried doing a 
% zcat src*.* | cpio -itv
but cpio claims they are not in cpio format.  I tried -b thinking
it was a byte-order problem, but that also failed.
What am I missing?
