[TUHS] v7 tar and 2bsd.tar

[Will Senn]

After much travail, I found a post in some ancient Asian language 
(Japanese) and was reminded of Wolfgang's enblock. I didn't bother to 
translate, but just did the enblock:

gunzip -d 2bsd.tar.gz
cat 2bsd.tar | enblock > 2bsd.tap

I attached the result, et voila:
tar xv0
tar: bin/ - cannot create
x bin/csh, 40412 bytes, 79 tape blocks
tar: bin/etc/ - cannot create
x bin/etc/htmp, 0 bytes, 0 tape blocks
x bin/etc/install, 81 bytes, 1 tape blocks

The cannot create messages are filthy lies :).

That brought it all back to me - just like when I built tar from tape 
for v6... sheesh, why does it have to be so painfully difficult to 
remember these tricky bits?!

Anyhow, afterward, I went back, did the translation from Japanese to 
English (or google did), and it was good stuff about how to apply 
2bsd.tar to v6:

Thanks for the help and patience.

Will
