	I have a couple of questions, both probably stupid.

1) I can't seem to handle files larger than 209xxxx on my system. Anything
bigger than 2 megs and some odd bytes gives me problems. Why is this?? I
have a huge tar file that has been split. Since I can't put it back together
because of the file size, I am stuck. HELP!

2) Is there any way to untar a split file?? Something like "cat * | tar -xvf -"
maybe?? HELP AGAIN!

As usual, all help is appreciated.  Please respond by email if possible.

				Later,
					Terry
