[comp.sys.acorn] Problems with newcastle file server

andreas@hotb.radig.de (Andreas Raab) (12/26/90)

Hello there.
I have a problem using the fileserver at newcastle.ac.uk. I have got some of
the new stuff (disc1..5), but uudecode says "Short file". However, a file
disc1.tar.Z is created and uncompressing works ok., but the resulting .tar
file stops after some 7 files with a "directory checksum error".

The files from the fileserver were all complete, with proper begin and end
lines.

I tried uudecode on the unix machine (Sun4), but not on the Arc.
Has anybody had similar problems with these files or any suggestion?

Normally, all the software from this fileserver works ok, so I don't think the
problem lies somewhere in the transmission.
