Hi... I'm trying to transfer a file from an FTP site to my amiga... I've got the program onto my school's unix system... Then I transfer it from there using Baudbandit's xmodem or ymodem... The file transfer works fine, but when I try to zoo or zip or arc on any of the files....only some of the files extract properly.... a lot of times my amiga just crashes..... What am I doing wrong????? Any help..... P.S. I am setting the ftp to binary....also, I can transfer stuff with my friends ibm pc and unzip it fine... ARgh... Thanks...

Perhaps the file you grabbed from the FTP site was bad? Also, (I'm not sure if this is true with Amiga ARC) but on Amiga Zip, not all the compression routines are actually coded, so if one is encountered that Zip knows it cannot do, it will tell you: -->ZIP DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DE____(fill in the unsupported compression routine of your choice) YET!
