A lesson for those who shun .Z and .zoo files in "sources" groups. Keep
on shunning. I stupidly proceeded to unpack this sucker (against my better
initial judgement). Here is what crawled out:
bx - data
bx.c
bx.doc
clear - data
fortune - data
fortunes
menu.001
strstr.c
strstr.o - data
usrfile
welcome
What is "bx" supposed to be? Oh, I know, an executable! For what??
Oh, at least bx.c is there. What is "clear", or "fortune"? Can I link
to "strstr.o"? I guess that is what the "alt" in alt.sources means.
These are an alternative form of source ... one that cannot be used.
