[comp.text.tex] TeX3.0.tar.Za? Assmebly - HELP

ian@polari.UUCP (ian searle) (03/18/91)

The subject says most of it; I have ftp'ed the TeX3.0.tar.Za? files
form labrea.stanford.edu and am having difficulty assembling. First
I "cat TeX3.0.tar.Za? > TeX3.0.tar.Z
but doing an "uncompress TeX3.0.tar.Z" gets nothing but
"corrupted input" from uncompress and a TeX3.0.tar file that does not
contain much, although it is very big. I have:
	checked the byte sizes of *.Zaa -> *.Zar and they all match 
	perfectly.

	tryed "cat"ing them together with each name spelled explicitly.
I'm pretty sure that I am doing something incredibly stupid (again) since
these files have been at labrea for a while. Has anybody else had this
problem, or can you tell what I'm doing wrong.
