Re: problems with archive of 0.99?

I was able to untar the file fine, both from my local copy and after
downloading it from our ftp site.

I am using GNU tar with the zxvf option to de-tar the archive in one step.

I don't know how gunzip works precisely, but I would at least half-expect that
if your download was corrupted you'd see a problem at the gunzip stage.

Assuming you're not running out of diskspace when you try to untar or download
it, the only thing I can think of is to try downloading it again (which I'm
sure you've already done) and possibly use GNU's version of tar to open it
up.

I just tried downloading the archive from my NT box and used WinZip to open it
(although I had to rename it so that it had a .tgz extension first..  Netscape
can do some strange things to files that it thinks it can uncompress itself)
and it worked fine, so I'm pretty confident in the archive's integrity.
