I am having problems getting files from the SIMTEL archives.  I am on a 
Unix machine (SunOS, I beleive).  After connecting to SIMTEL, I enter
"type tenex", and begin to transfer the files I want.  When, however, I down-
load them to my PC & try to un-arc them, it tells me that every file fails
the CRC check, and all I get is garbage.

A while ago I was successful in transferring files, but then I was on a TOPS-20 machine.

I know that this has been discussed a thousand times here, so evryone would
probably appreciate it if replies came by E-Mail.

Thanks!

Dan
