self-exploding DOS version
of gzip
This file is 119146 bytes. If it arrives at your machine with a
different byte-count, it is being tranferred in ASCII mode rather than
binary mode, and is garbage. Check the byte count on the first data
file too.
Note to winzip users:
Some people complain about winzip. It's a feature, not a bug.
From the 'options' menu, select
'configuration'. Then, the box called "TAR File Smart CR/LF Conversion"
needs to be unchecked and everything will work fine.
