    Well, for some weird reason, it looks like you've introduced a bunch
    of 0xA0 characters at the beginning of each line in your version that
    weren't in my original. Also, it isn't meant to be pasted as 4 lines
    into a file but pasted as 1 single, very long line at a Bash command
    prompt.

    Anyway, let's try it a different way. I've put a Perl program here:

            http://www3.telus.net/buhr/misc/find_offset.pl

    You can save this and then run the following command at a shell
    prompt:

            zcat yourtar.gz | perl find_offset.pl home/vic/ | head -20
