[comp.sys.handhelds] HP 95 demo file corrupt?

jurjen@cwi.nl (Jurjen NE Bos) (04/25/91)

I just downloaded the HP95DEMO.EXE from hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com, and it does strange
things.  The file seems to be an auto-unpacking archive, but it gives errors
at unpacking.  When run, it produces 5 files, and the two most interesting
files (the actual demo program and its data file) give CRC errors.
Do other people have the same experience, or did I do something wrong (no, I
didn't forget binary mode when downloading.  It might be the PC emulator on
the Sparc, or so).
Thanks in advance,
	Jurjen

I have the correct version.  Thanks.

I had no such problems. I ran it in the SoftPC emulator on Vax/VMS.
The demo ran OK, too.
