[comp.sources.wanted] Problems FTP-ing from simtel

heilpern@ibd.BRL.MIL (Mark A. Heilpern ) (06/08/89)

Lately, I've had problems getting reliable transfers from simtel20 (yes,
in the tenex mode.) Most of the files I've had problems with are from the
pd1:<msdos.gif/graphics> directories. It seems pkxarc and pkunpak both
fail in the crc test upon extraction of the .arc files. Additionally, the
file "pk361.exe" (I think that was the file, a self-extracting executable)
did not extract files as promised, but merely crashed my AT.

Has anyone experienced similar problems? There are several files that seem
interesting to me, and I am having a bear of a time with them.

Thanks for any help/suggestions...
