I have an extremely roundabout way of transferring files from
work (UNIX) to my amiga. I do the following:
	1. I zoo the files on UNIX (bsd4.3)
	2. I copy it to an IBM pc via a 9600 serial link
	3. I copy it onto a 5.25" floppy disk
	4. I take the disk home & copy it onto my IBM HD (did I mention
	   I have a 2088 BridgeBoard with a hard disk, of which the Amiga is
	   a partition ?)
	5. I use awrite to transfer the zoo'd file.
	6. I unzoo the file.

Now, following these steps I took home Sksh and did a zoo l. This said
that the file was corrupted, I don't know why yet, but I will find out !
However I thought I'll be smart & attempt to extract it anyway. So I
did a zoo x sksh.zoo, this caused the system to crash (guru #000000003.???)
If anyone knows why, can they tell me please.

Thanks,
