What kind of system are you running this on?

I have a shell script that i cooked up for dribbling 2400 blocks
out to a floppy via cpio.  My system is a AT386 SysV 3.2
I should image that a shell script would run on any system,
but i have had some surprises with the stuff gotten from the
Net.  At times i wish i had a BSD derived system so i could do
all the neat things one can only image the berkeley boys do.

If you like I can mail you a copy of the script and you can
modify it to meet your exact needs.  Karl...

PS. First lets see if you get this, too much of the mail bounces.
