From: Frank J. Wancho <WANCHO@simtel20> We are finding an alarmingly large number of files in the SIG/M and CPMUG set on the SIMTEL20 have CRCs which do not match the documented values. This was NOT caused by MODEM, but by flakey disk drives used for an intermediate disk-to-disk copy step. Those drives were suspect for some time, and have now been pulled for alignment. (Unfortunately, the CRCs were checked against the "bad" disk instead of the original or the documentation files.) I fear that we may have to re-upload the entire set of 151 disks as well as the 60 new ones that I'm in the process of converting to 5-1/4" N* format for upload. While we sort this all out, we ask you to double-check the CRCs of any files you may have FTP'd from either MICRO:<SIGM.*> or MICRO:<CPMUG.*> against those listed in the CRC lists in their respective volumes before using those files. We are extremely sorry for this inconvenience. --Frank

Frank - I have discovered that every assembler file that I have downloaded
from the SIG/M collection has had every occurrence of CR/LF changed to
CR CR LF. I have used the CP/M editor to get rid of the extra CR's and have
had no trouble assembling the resulting files. I did the transfers from
SIMTEL20 to a VAX/UNIX machine using FTP in TENEX mode. Might this exper-
ience shed some light on your problem?
