	Hi there !  I've got yet another problem FTPing from the SIMTEL
archives.  This time, I keep getting CRC check errors on the files I've
downloaded to my PC.  I do the following :

	From my TVI925:

		ftp 26.2.0.74
		login => anonymous
		password=> guest
		cd pd1:<msdos.xxxx>     xxxx=gif
		hash on
		prompt off
		tenex
		mget FASTGIF.ARC.1
		quit

	From my TVI925 to my PC:

		xmodem sb FASTGIF.ARC.1

	Once the file is on my hard disk:

		pkxarc -e fastgif.arc   (renamed for dos)

	The results of my effort:

		CRC errors and the file is extracted, yet doesn't run;

		or

		Extracting of file yields garbage files !!



ANY help will be greatly appreciated !!!
