	I am having some trouble.  Recently, the binaries to NetHack 3.0
patchlevel 10 were posted to comp.sys.binaries.amiga.  I saved them,
stripped off the top lines, ran the files through sh, concatenated the
result, and uudecoded the .zuu file to get a .zoo file.  Now after I
downloaded the .zoo files to my computer, I used zoo to test the
archives.  Disk 1 was fine, but disk 2 gave me a bad CRC error on the
Guidebook.  (The error is fatal -- zoo refuses to process the file or
anything after it in the archive.)  What is my problem??

	Guess #1:  I didn't get things correctly in binary mode.  But I
managed to get disk #1 just fine and I used the same command to get disk
#2.

	Guess #2:  I downloaded onto a disk that is going bad.  Maybe
that caused a problem.  But when I downloaded onto a disk I've never had
trouble with, zoo complained exactly as before.

	Guess #3:  Somehow one of the files I received over Usenet was
corrupted.  I can't verify this myself.

	Any help is appreciated.  Please respond by e-mail.  I will post
in the unlikely event the trouble is with the archive.
