I seemed to have missed the posting of the easter-egg 'passwords' for the Xmas demo. Could someone drop me a note as to what they were. Thanks. Evan- erast1@unix.cis.pitt.edu -- Evan Ron Aussenberg erast1@unix.cis.pitt.edu IN%"erast1@pittunix"

I've tried to download FTA's christmas demo twice, from two different sources (comp.binaries.apple2 and tybalt.caltech.edu). In both cases the resulting ShrinkIt file (and it was a ShrinkIt file, the Finder said so!!) would not uncompress - GSHK said it could not unshrink the file. WHY? Anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I U/L the demo. Before U/L, I reassembled the pieces, and arn the disk, so the parts are OK. The moderator requested a repost, I believe he said that part 16 had been U/L twice, so I re-posted part 17. Exactly what error are you getting? CRC errors could indicate a corrupted file.

Is the file in question on tybalt? If so, let me enlighten you: files that end in .SHK are binary images of shrinkit archives (that means the data in them is exactly the same as what's on the disk when you create a shrinkit archive). when you FTP them you MUST type 'bin' to set binary/image transfer mode, or else the file's data will be altered on it way to you and that corrupts the archive. the same problem can occur when you download the file to your computer -- kermit will only do binary transfers if BOTH the local and remote kermits have been instructed to use binary transfer (this is one thing about kermit that annoys me). once you have the file on your own system, shrinkit may not recognize it, although it should -- always try hitting 'see all files' before you give up on a file.
