To whomever loaded the Neptune pics for anon FTP, thanks. But (you knew
it was coming), I had some problems. I downloaded them ok and unzoo'd
them and had trouble displaying the best7c/d/e/f.16 pics. 7c displays
about half way down then goes off into never never land. A quick check
of the readme's, etc., seem to indicate the file sizes in the zoo are
significantly smaller than what should be there as indicated in the
neptune0.readme file, i.e., 153k in the readme vs 90k in the zoo.
Anyway, I'm not complaining as all the others were well worth the time
and effort. Just thought you might like to know there MIGHT be
something amiss with the zoo file (Neptune2.zoo). If I did something
wrong and you can figure out what it might be, please email.
Thanks again for the trouble you went through to make them available.
Cheers, Dave

I just did a double check and although the files sizes vary, best7c and best7d are the only 2 that showiz will not display. View display them partially and I forgot what sho did. Anyway, if anyone has downloaded these and NOT had problems, please let me know. Maybe I'll have to try transferring them again. Thanks again, Dave

In episode <23764@louie.udel.EDU>, we heard detert@lognet2.af.mil (CMS David K. Detert) say: | |I just did a double check and although the files sizes vary, best7c and |best7d are the only 2 that showiz will not display. best7c and best7d are indeed hosed. I spent about two hours last evening trying to get these two files into Dpaint so I could at least try to fix them, but no luck. The Neptune2 archive as a whole checks out; these files are just damaged somehow. Either Dpaint or one of the viewer programs reported something about the FORM block being incorrect. On a related note, the 988-byte sho program (an IFF viewer in Neptune3) is giving me problems. Sho works fine, even running it more than once, but the next program I run AFTER running sho causes a lockup. File access may be the key; running AVAIL after sho works but running DIR gives me the "Task Held" requester. I normally run Dmouse and FaccII but get the same behavior without them. Anyone else have this problem? Kenneth Herron

Of course, it caused endless visits to the guru...

The pictures best7c.16 and best7d.16 were indeed messed up. (I think I need
to fiddle with MaxTransfer on my Amiga's hard disk.) They have been resent
to "info-amiga/pub/neptune4.*" on trantor.umd.edu. I tried uploading a new
copy of neptune2.zoo, but I'm not sure that the last few bytes made it.
