   cpio help needed

   From: philo@privacy.net   
      
   I am still fooling with the SCO Unix server I had mentioned the other day.   
      
   I was given specific instructions how to create and retrieve a gzip   
   archive on a separate partition using cpio   
      
   Now I am working on a bare minimum installation that does not have gzip.   
      
      
   Since I an only transferring a small amount of data, I don't need it. I   
   do need help with exact context   
      
      
   I would like to take one folder and use cpio to let's say) copy it to   
   /dev/hd0   
      
      
   I would then put the drive with the archive on it into second machine   
   and un-archive the files back to a folder   
      
   Could anyone give me an exact example?   
      
   Thanks
