How do I unpack the core.tar.Z.ab<cde, etc.> files? file tells me that they are data, and uncompress won't give them the time of day. Obviously we are missing a critical item of information, but what is it?

The sources were tar(1)ed, then the archive compress(1)ed, then that file sliced into smaller pieces. To get something useful, reverse the process. That is, say something like cat core.tar.Z-part-*|zcat|tar xvf -

First you cat them all together. cat core.tar.Z.* | uncompress | tar xof - will do the trick under unix. -Miles gatech!stiatl!meo
