Hi,
  There have been several posts about troubles unpacking b17 after
downloading the pieces.  Last evening I was trying to append together
and unpack xb? for usersrc.tar.gz.  I used copy /b xba+...+xbh
usersrc.tar.gz and then tried ungzipping with the supplied gunzip.exe
and cygwin.dll.  This did not work.  I then realized I wasn't using MKS
bourne shell, but was still using command.com.  So I started that up,
redid the copy and then gunzipping worked (all done inside the MKS
shell).  I was also successful in unpacking cdksrc from with MKS Bourne
shell.
  Anyway, just thought I would report this behavior.
