Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience folks.  I placed new copies of
the XView 2.0 release in the previous places with the problem fixed.  
Here are the new ftp stats.

Regards,

Heather

When transfering a tar file via ftp, be sure to set binary mode first.
Files must be transfered in image mode (use the ftp "binary" and "mget" 
commands).  If you are doing an "mget" you'll probably want to use 
ftp with the "-i" option to prevent it from asking you about every file.
If you are already in ftp, can use the "prompt" command in ftp to turn off
interactive prompting.

To recreate the compressed tar file, can do the following:

	% cat *.tar.Z.?? | uncompress | (cd /usr/local/src/xview; tar xvf - )

which create a directory called "xview2" in the directory /usr/local/src/xview.  
Can rename this to anything you like.  See the README file in that directory 
on how to begin building the XView source.

Unpacked XView source requires approximately 12.5+ MB of disk space.
