Hmm, I don't know any tools for PC-DOS to extract the tar files. But if by chance you can get access to a PC running MS Windows 95, 98, or NT, I see two ways to do that: (a) Install GNU-Win32 by Cygnus Solutions (see http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/). This (freely available) package contains several of the usual Unix utilities for MS Windows (win32). You shoudl then be able to run the "install.sh" of the FreeBSD source distribution directly. (b) Get WinZip (http://www.winzip.com/). Concatenate the files of a source package to a file with a name ending with .tar.gz, e. g. C:\freebsd-sources> copy /b sbin.aa+sbin.ab+sbin.ac sbin.tar.gz Open the .tar.gz file with WinZip.
