I assumed that I would be able to read the usenix tapes by
simply doing "tar xv". I get a file call source_archive
and I have no idea what to do with the file. The file
gets loaded all too quickly so I suspect I am loading the
tape with the wrong method. Could someone help me out and
tell me how to get the info off the tape?
Besides, when I get the source_archive file, I don't know
what to do with it. ar says it does not know it and it
does not look like a shell script. What does one do with
the source_archive file?
