The 'cat' step above is redundant, and just wastes space. cat ssys.* |tar xvzf - is functionally equivalent. Alternatively, ncftp -c "ftp://freebsd.archive.site/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/src/ssys.*" | tar xvzf - will fetch and extract in one go. > Doug White | University of Oregon -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
