The split pieces are all less than 512k (524288 bytes) long and must be transfered in image mode (use the ftp "binary" and "mget" commands). If you are doing an "mget" you'll probably want to restart ftp with the "-i" option to prevent it from asking you about every file. Here are the sizes of those pieces: 527052 xview2.tar.Z.aa 624920 xview2.tar.Z.ab 467928 xview2.tar.Z.ac 446444 xview2.tar.Z.ad 475499 xview2.tar.Z.ae 523285 xview2.tar.Z.af 533217 xview2.tar.Z.ag 533981 xview2.tar.Z.ah 1469 xview2.tar.Z.ai total size: 4133795 bytes BSD checksums: 22395 515 xview2.tar.Z.aa 16674 611 xview2.tar.Z.ab 40901 457 xview2.tar.Z.ac 40217 436 xview2.tar.Z.ad 03253 465 xview2.tar.Z.ae 02130 512 xview2.tar.Z.af 29054 521 xview2.tar.Z.ag 50894 522 xview2.tar.Z.ah 10008 2 xview2.tar.Z.ai System 5 style checksums: % /usr/5bin/sum *.a* 3219 1030 xview2.tar.Z.aa 18489 1221 xview2.tar.Z.ab 32292 914 xview2.tar.Z.ac 30830 872 xview2.tar.Z.ad 33429 929 xview2.tar.Z.ae 53093 1023 xview2.tar.Z.af 2324 1042 xview2.tar.Z.ag 35743 1043 xview2.tar.Z.ah 24259 3 xview2.tar.Z.ai To recreate the compressed tar file, can do the following: % cat *.tar.Z.?? | uncompress | (cd /usr/local/src/xview; tar xvf - ) which create a directory called "fcs" in the directory /usr/local/src/xview. Can rename this to anything you like. See the README file in that directory on how to begin building the XView source. Unpacked XView source requires approximately 12.5+ MB of disk space.
