Recently there was an article stating that a copy of a neural network
simulator for the Mac called Mactivation (Version 3.2) was on
colorado.boulder.edu available for anonymous ftp collection.

I just went in and in the /pub directory found a file called
mactivation.3.2.sit.hqx.Z, but got suspicious as this file is only 2921
bytes long.  I had a look at it, and found that it is actually a
DIRECTORY listing of the same account - only the mactivation file in the
listing is a couple of hundred K long.

Hence, it would appear that someone has managed to overwrite the file
with a directory listing.  Is there any chance of it being replaced and
a message sent to this newsgroup to say when it has happened?

Thanks in advance.
