The files just might be in System V 'pack' format.  I don't recall the
extension that 'pack' sticks on things but I think that it's '.Z' (it's
been a while since I played with it 'cuz I put compress on our 3B :-).

I think that 'pack' may be specific to SYSV and not available on other
systems.  You will probably have to find a good friend with SYSV and
con him into unpacking it for you.
