On 7 Jul 99, somebody had questions about Installation of Samba on
SVR3 unix:

If you can uncompress the package without untarring it, at that
point it's just text. Then you can process it yourself with awk or
perl (depending on your philosphy/experience).
I think one of my work buddys wrote a tar/tape package for DOS that
re-named files/dirs to DOS 8.3 names (way back in the dark ages).
The original poster should mail me directly if I should inquire
about it (this guy never throws away useful code).
