The use of  tar  in Linux did extract the files, the error
messages were probably caused by doing the extracting
in    /dos    part of the disk, and    root   should not be
made the owner.
But I am wondering whether there is a better dos
version of    tar.exe.    The one I used has a date
of 9/22/94 and has length   34,199
