tlug: SCO package format

["Austin Kurahone" <a_downunder@example.com>]

Hi,

I'm still struggling with the SCO package format, and I have mannaged to
discover some things.  I think that SCO uses a modivied version of cpio 
because the following occurs.

bash# file VOL.000.000
VOL.000.000: ASCII cpio archive (pre-SVR4 or odc)
bash# 

Unfortuneately, trying to use cpio to extract the files just gives me a 
bunch of errors.
I would enormously appriciate any help that I can get in resolving this 
matter.
The reason that I'm so persistent is because according to sCO, Merge 
will allow 
me to run almost all of the programs for 95, at near native performace.

Thanks in advance,
Austin Kurahone
