These files comprise the entirety of the spearfish database. They are generated from a compressed cpio file, split into ~1-megabyte chunks. To use these files, acquire all of them. Then "cat" the files together into one file. In C-shell (csh), this is accomplished by: % cat spearfish.???? | zcat | cpio -icdmu WARNING: these files are BIG. There are 7 files which when concatenated are over 7MB in length. This file when uncompressed is pretty big (on the order of 15MB, I believe). To un-cpio the resultant file, you'll need at least that much space in excess, to hold the extracted files. Be sure to use "type binary" or "type image" to transfer these files!!! This directory also contains the file spearfish.ps which contains a March, 1991 update of Scott Tweddale's ADP Report N-87/22, titled "Spearfish Sample Database." To obtain the file, type the following at the ftp prompt: ftp> type binary ftp> get spearfish.ps This will automatically uncompress the file and send it to you.
