Hello
I'm trying to add the files necessary to build from source - comp.tgz, 
text.tgz, etc.

# pkg_add /cdrom/comp.tgz
/usr/bin/tar +CONTENTS not found in archive
pkg_add: unable to open table of contents file '+CONTENTS' - not a package?
pkg_add: 1 package addition failed

This file was d-loaded from the ftp mirror. Same file from ISO 
installation cd gets same problem. What am I missing ? (All MD5's check 
OK and I have installed some other .tgz files OK.)
Thanks in advance.
Ja'far
