- To reduce the size of the distribution, the source files in this directory
- have been archived, and then each archive has been compressed.
- To get the original source files back, proceed as follows:
-
- 1. Copy the contents of this directory to a hard disk directory or empty
- floppy.
-
- 2. Decompress each .Z file using: compress -d file.Z
-
- 3. Remove the .Z file(s) if you need to create more disk space.
-
- 4. De-archive each archive file using: ar x file.a
-
- 5. Remove the .a files.
-
- Here is a shell script that performs steps 2 through 5. Make sure there is
- twice as much free disk space as the size of the archive. To be safe,
- run this shell script on a copy of the archive. The original should not
- be in the current directory because it will be removed.
