The files in there are 'tar' files, compressed and split into 235k chunks. The 'ssys.*' ones make up the set of "system" source files, which contain the kernel portions (i.e., the stack itself). Many commands related to IP are in other collections (primarily the usr/bin set, which are in subin.*). On FreeBSD, the way to expand them is cat ssys.*|tar -xzv -C <location to leave the results> -f - I don't really know how to do it on Windows (I actually use FreeBSD, you see), but the basic theory would be similar: you need to concatenate the files, uncompress them, and untar them. The latter two parts require programs that don't come with Windows: versions of gunzip and tar. I believe that Cygnus has versions of these programs, but there may be simpler ways to get them.
