     I've successfully downloaded it and unpaacked it without a problem.  The 
posted code is not at fault.  I used sciibin, a Unix program to convert binscii
files, and then downloaded that file.  
     One problem may be a difference in line terminators.  Apple wants a 
carriage-return, IBM wants a line-feed and carriage return, and Unix usees just
a line feed.  Try converting the Unix line-feed to carriage returns with:
     tr '\012' '\015' <file> newname

     The unpacked files will include a doc file that explains quite nicely how 
to install the program and name the sound files.
     Hope it works for you.
