		Subject: Re: Latest version of tn3270...
		
		Thanks for the info on tn3270. I ftp'ed the tar file,
		but when I try and untar it I get =>
		
		$   tar -xvf  tn3270.tar.Z  wow
		tar: directory checksum error (0 != -2315)
		
		I've looked at the man page for tar, what am I doing wrong?
		I've tried about every combination tar -x, tar -xbfv, tar -xfv.....
		I don't get much out of the error message  :(   HELP!!!

	You need to uncompress the file using BSD's uncompress command. Then
	you can tar the file.
