Hi Tom. Thanks for the reply. Another user pointed out that the particular
file I needed is already on the 8.1 CD's in file:
egcs-c++-1.1.2-53mdk
(wonder how he knew that? <smile>). I would still like to know how to pull a
particular file from an RPM/archive, so I'll look at cpio and MC's man files.
MC in particular looks very capable. That other user also mentioned using
"alien" to accomplish the same thing.
Thanks to everyone for their help! ;-)
