I started out using "gzip -dc" but still stall at the same spot. Your 
out put above just seems to flow and find the files it wants all by 
itself, mine stops and waits for me to direct it. Could it be an issue 
with my system not knowing how to find the files? How would I set the 
variable $JOHN so the sytem knows the path? In john.conf for example 
"MODES" are set to find the .chr files through a path. ie: File = 
$JOHN/all.chr I have never set that so maybe the patch is failing becuse 
of that?
