I have a set of floppies comprising a CPIO archive created by some
version of PC-Unix (ISC or SCO).  Now I want to read it with DOS.

I'm not so much concerned with extracting the files.  I mainly want
to read the byte stream off the floppy to transfer it to a Sun work-
station.  [no floppy device on my Sun, no Unix on my PC].

Is there, perhaps, a DOS utility available to read Unix floppies?
Or a way to access the floppy on an AT machine so as to bypass
whatever is looking for the DOS format?
