)
I used cat sp.cpio.Z.* | zcat | (cd /spear; cpio -icdu)
It was ok

I noted a small bug (?) while using lynx (and it might also appear in
graphical browsers also) when I downloaded GRASS and the spearfish data
set. Lynx thought the `split' files were text/ASCII files and therefore
did some interesting CR/LF conversions.
   If you didn't use binary transfer method this could be your problem.

Good luck,
