[comp.windows.x] X window examples from Young's book

sormaz@girtab.usc.EDU (Dusan Sormaz) (06/23/91)

Hi,


I tried to do file transfer of examples for X windows from D. Young's book
as instructed at the end of book (page 513).
I followed instruction:

1. do ftp - it was OK
2. uncompress young.motif.tar.Z - it was OK
                                  I got uncompressed file cca 17 MB
				  is it so big?
3. tar yopung.motif.tar - I got error message "directory checksum error
				( 2219 != 2343)"


Can you explain me what was wrong in this procedure?

Thank you,

Dusan Sormaz

Did you use 8 bit binary mode when you did the ftp?

Use tar -xvf options
just type tar -xvf yopung.motif.tar
