Is this only me?  What version of tar was used to create the cnews tar file?
the sdbm archives as well as the cnews archive look hosed, while the rn & reap
stuff seems ok. (a bunch of other stuff I grabbed at the same time looks ok as 
well)

I am trying to un-tar it with the tar that comes w/SunOS 4.1.1.
