I just downloaded a copy from the server and it seems to work as expected (even within the DOSEMU of Linux). Did you remember to specify BINARY mode download? Most DOS ftp programs default to ASCII. I also tried ASCII mode download, and UNZIP produced - even then - an apparently working executable (there were a couple of error messages during the unzipping, however, and some of the files were missing). Here is the list of contents of the zip-file (Length = original size, i.e. what you ought to have after unzipping; Size = zipped size; UNZIP (or PKUNZIP) does a CRC check to make sure that the unzipped file matches the original): Length Method Size Ratio Date Time CRC-32 Name ------ ------ ---- ----- ---- ---- ------ ---- 33792 Deflate 26347 22% 08-20-95 14:58 4389b8ec engndx.fl1 33792 Deflate 25904 23% 08-20-95 14:58 a61d9fa8 lgndx.fl1 245760 Deflate 70786 71% 08-20-95 14:58 d9e7ff18 logdata.fl1 101968 Deflate 37470 63% 09-22-91 20:32 c2347106 lf.exe 4138 Deflate 2064 50% 08-20-95 15:19 0ad79f2f readme.net 10855 Deflate 4237 61% 08-20-95 15:30 0113b2ec logflash.doc ------ ------ --- ------- 430305 166808 61% 6 co'o mi'e veion
