any program that can handle both tar and gz files will work..  the
files are just one large file that were split into 240k chunks..
copy file.aa+file.ab+...+file.zz file.tgz will reassemble the file
for you...  the other thing is that the source probably isn't to useful
on a dos machine..  by my opinion only...
