(Sorry for posting a complaint here, but our site doesn't have comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d yet.) I recently downloaded the HYPER program off the net using the following shell script (as recommended by Raul): #! /bin/sh cat $* | sed '/^END/,/^BEGIN/d'| uudecode The resultant arc file was: HYPER ARC 172171 5-16-88 12:29p However, in un-archiving the file, it informed me that FILE55 failed the CRC check. Figuring that the shell script was somehow responsible, I went back to the original files, concatenated them the old way (slow and tedious), and created a second arc file. This time it resulted in the following arc file: HYPER ARC 209185 5-16-88 2:25p Can anybody tell me what's going on here?? The second file is not only 21% larger than the first, but FILE55 still failed the CRC check! BTW, I used PKARC to un-archive the file. If anyone got all files to un-archive properly, please send me FILE55 by email. Thanks.
