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: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Forumin.blogspot.com%2F2014%2F06%2Funix-and-2bsd-on-pdp11simh-2.html Thanks for the help and patience.
