	Hi!  I just got my very own 7300 Unix PC (TM) up and running and
I'm having a great time snarfing software for it, etc.  HOWEVER--

	I ftp-ed a couple of software packages from osu-cis; specificlly,
mtools and compress; compress comes as a CPIO package but when I try to
un-cpio it by the command

	cpio -itv <compress.cpio  (just trying to see what's there)
I get an error message "Out of phase--get help".

	So, HELP!  Sorry if this is an obvious question.

Thanks.
