Message-ID: Date: 20 Jan 91 03:04:36 GMT Sender: bbs@cellar.UUCP (The Cellar BBS) Organization: The Cellar BBS +1 215 336 9503 Lines: 17 I tried to download a file from cica.cica.indiana.edu using anonymous FTP. I used the FTP command to transfer it to the mainframe I was hooked into (via a dialup line) and then kermit to tranferit from the mainframe (an IBM 4381) to my computer (a 386SX running MSDOS). However, when I unzipped this file with PKzip 1.02, It would not work. I tried reconstructing the zipfile with "pkzipfix" but that yielded no improvement. I'm probably overlooking something very simple, but It would be great if someone could tell me what it was. Thanks! David Sklar | v5446e@vm.temple.edu |"That says it all to me!
