[comp.windows.ms] Which pkunzip to use with cica files?

myers@beowulf.ucsd.edu (Margaret Myers) (04/24/91)

I am sorry if this is a FAQ, but I am having trouble getting files off
of cica.cica.

I wonder if I might be using too old a version of pkunzip. My copy came
off of Genie a few months ago and says it is "pkunzip 1.1 3-15-90".

If this version is okay, is there something I need to do different with
ftp than I have done on any other system?  I have tried downloading in
both "bin" and "tenex" mode and I get the same errors. I first transfer 
the software via ftp to one of the local suns (A SPARCServer 390, I
believe) and then to my home machine via kermit. (Yes, I use binary mode).
I have done this to get software from other hosts and I don't have a  
problem.

This is an example of the errors I usually get:

---------------
PKUNZIP (R)    FAST!    Extract Utility    Version 1.1    03-15-90
Copr. 1989-1990 PKWARE Inc. All Rights Reserved. PKUNZIP/h for help
PKUNZIP Reg. U.S. Pat. and Tm. Off.

Searching ZIP: FMSOUND.ZIP
PKUNZIP: Warning! FMSOUND.ZIP - error in ZIP use PKZipFix

PKUNZIP: No file(s) found.

If I use PKZipFix I get errors along the lines of:

----------------
PKUNZIP (R)    FAST!    Extract Utility    Version 1.1    03-15-90
Copr. 1989-1990 PKWARE Inc. All Rights Reserved. PKUNZIP/h for help

Since everyone else I seems to have no trouble with files from cica,
I know it is something I am doing. I am just not sure what. The pkunzip
version is my best guess.

Thanks for any help,
