Suppose I have a CPIO archive that a file called foo/bar/bletch in it. I want to extract bletch to the current directory, without it creating foo and bar. This is the equivalent of the x: command in zoo and the -j option in (Info-) UNZIP. But I cannot find any way to do this in CPIO. Is there a way? I know there is an option to extract to the current directory, but this only means that if the archive contains /foo/bar/bletch, it will be extracted as ./foo/bar/bletch. This is not the same thing. ************************************************************************ Drink Coke...
