Mark:
Once you get connected, type "binary". You're having problems
because that machine is a Mac, and yours probably isn't. Type "binary"
before transmitting the files, and it'll work.

Why don't we just all agree that binary is the new default mode? [frustration
being vented from a vendor who has seen SOOOOOO many of these complaints come
in the support center... "Sun's ftp corrupts data every time I transfer..."]
Oh cool - different opponents to punt off the track!

Yes, and everyone i know had the same problem too. It has nothing to
do with binary/non-binary download, it just doesn't work. I ended up getting it
from a WWW site. Ill post it when i can find it again.

The file does indeed work. Something you who have problems might consider is
a bad link, incompatible FTP daemon/client, and of course check your
ASCII/Binary mode before you transfer. Also, aborted transfers can affect the
file's performance.

The file is not corrupted - you guys must be forgetting to type
"binary". If that's not it, then possibly you have an outdated version
of pkunzip. That's all I can think of, since the file works fine for me
(and many others).

Yes, there really seems to be some trouble with didnt.doit(and also
brains.ac...). I tried to download file ports.zip, and when I tried to
unzip it, it reported the file being a multi-part zipfile or not a
zipfile at all.

I really don't care how you screwed up downloading it, but due to your
complainign I wasted some time verifying it yet again - the file is fine.
Also: if you feel like posting a large binary file - make sure you know
where to do that... This newsgroup is NOT the place for such posts.

Thanks for your help. Not needomg to FTP until I got on this newsgroup, I
didn't know about the 'binary' command. Thanx to all!

guess what - this file is not a ZIP - no idea what's wrong here, because
the file has been here for many, many months!
Simple solution: drag file into trash - no more paorts.zip on didnt.doit.
Anyone know where this file came from and what it is supposed to be
good for? I never opened it, since I don't have a copy of F1GP anymore...
