Read this if you're having trouble unpacking Tcl

[Karl Lehenbauer]

Enclosed is the help file for anyone who is having trouble unpacking Tcl.

It has been pointed out to me that "cpio" is a SysV-ism.  However, "pax"
is around at various archives and can read these archives.  Most BSD systems
seem to already have some way to read cpio archives anyway.


You received this file because you had a problem unpacking the Tcl 4.0
archive.

This file should help you figure out what went wrong, and possibly
identify a piece of it that got corrupted.

Note that your editor must not strip trailing blanks or it will corrupt
the uuencoded archive.

If you have properly stripped the headers and trailers off the 12 parts,
they should have the following lengths:

-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:02 tcl40.02
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:02 tcl40.03
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:02 tcl40.04
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:02 tcl40.05
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:02 tcl40.06
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:02 tcl40.07
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:02 tcl40.08
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:02 tcl40.09
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:03 tcl40.10
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       53320 Dec 19 19:03 tcl40.11
-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool       46804 Dec 19 19:03 tcl40.12


After you concatenate them together, you should get a 633285-byte file.

-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool      633285 Dec 19 19:03 uufile

after uudecode, tcl40.cpio.Z should be:

-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool      459619 Dec 19 19:03 tcl40.cpio.Z

after "compress -d", tcl40.cpio should be:

-rw-r--r--   1 karl     cool     1191424 Dec 19 19:03 tcl40.cpio
