The System V release 2 programs are distributed in
cpio format, which makes tar somewhat useless. If you con't
have a cpio hanging around, you may have to bring up system V
read in the source, and then bring up 4.2 again. Once you've
done that, and recompiled cpio under 4.2, it does work as expected.
