|I ftp'ed to moon to copy grass4.0 and discovered that it only
|existed in 11 separate files, grassaa-grassak (rather than
|grass4.0.cpio.Z). How does this work? After ftp'ing these
|as binary files, do I then concatenate them into a single file
|named 'grass4.0.cpio.Z', uncompress this, then unarchive the
|uncompressed file with cpio?
Yes. We're only keeping the split copy on the moon now instead of the
additional single-file copy to save disk space. All of the truly large
archives on the moon (larger than a couple of meg) will be split, but the
smaller archives will remain unchanged.
There's a README file in that directory, but what you described is the
correct way to unpack the archive.
