   Appreciate all the help Paul and Grant.   
      
      
   Bela, the guy who worked for SCO gave me this advice and it worked.   
      
   do not have to worry about tar or gzip as it's only a tiny amount of data   
      
      
      
      
   linux# find games | cpio -ov | compress > /dev/hd04  ### except, the   
   right name for the target partition,   
     under linux...   
   sco# cd /target/location;   
     zcat < /dev/hd04 | cpio -ivdm   
      
      
      
   Now I can fool with some of those old text based games on my own

   May even put it in a virtual machine
