I got mtools for the SparcStation and copied a bunch of files to and from
my Amiga, using CrossDos to read the MS-DOS floppies on the other end.

Unfortunately, something is wrong and when I try to un-zoo the files that
I ftp'ed, Zoo freaks out, complains and won't un-zoo them.  If I take the
same files and transfer them from the SparcStation to a PC and then write
the disk, they are fine.  

The same is true for files I bring from the Amiga and copy to the Sparc
Station.  They are messed up somehow.  (In this case they were IFF files
and IFF2SUN refused to read them because they were hosed.)

Any ideas?  I can continue to do the extra hop (Sun, PC, Amiga), but
I'd prefer to do it straight.

Thanks,
Michael
