[comp.windows.x] Garbled Archive Files?

matsumot@deimos.ADS.COM (Michael Matsumoto) (07/15/89)

I ftp'ed the Young examples from expo.lcs.mit.edu this morning and was
unable to uncompress the file.  uncompress would just loop.  The MOTIF
file died with bus error.  Could the archive files be garbled?  Far as
I know, we run vanilla zcat.

Ps: Sorry I posted to the newsgroup; when I did a 'whois' on
expo.lcs.mit.edu, the human name attached (Michael Patton) disclaimed
any knowledge of the X Consortium ;-).

I just uncompressed the file and unpacked it.  Everything seemed to
be fine. I did not attempt to build anything, however.

Did you forget to put ftp in binary transfer mode?
