[net.sources] PC-Lisp, why doesn't it work. All the sums are okay.

Hi netlandians,

A quick question to all, I did as instructed to retrieve the PC-Lisp.exe file
from this group. All of the check sums were as specified. I downloaded the 
resulting binary via kermit (two times, one at 1200, another using my direct
link at work at 9600). The final DOS file bombs my computers, a Compaq Deskpro
at home and an IBM PC/AT at work.

The question? Does this program really work, or have I been duped?

Any comments or help will be appreciated. And I would like to emphesize that
I do appreciate the author's intention of freely distributing this software,
and will probably go out and buy an inexpensive Lisp compiler/interpreter if
I can't get this to work soon.

Thanks in advance...

if this helps.... The copy I took off the net ... according to instructions
WORKS PERFECTLY! ... I ran the GraphicsDemo program ..... a little slow but
nice. ( but then its LISP! :-) )

	The checksums I calculated were Not the ones that were stated!

but as I as I say, it downloaded and runs, no bugs found yet.

	I'm on a 3B2 SysVr2, so checksum may calculate differently, don't
know what machine the author is on.
