I ended up writing "decontrib", which will download all the files from a contrib package into a local directory and make a tarball for you. Then you can do whatever you like. Thus: % decontrib quanstro nupas [lots of output removed] % ls | grep nupas nupas nupas.tgz % lc nupas 386 README acme mail rc sys % It's in /n/sources/contrib/john/decontrib
