     Help Please.....

     I have ftp'd Star-1.04.1.tar.Z from trix.ai.mit.edi, struggled with
     learning about tar and uncompress, had to have my memory allocation
     increases by many orders of magnitude by being very nice to the people
     that run the unix system I am using, because the uncompresse file is
     very large. BUT STILL WHEN star-1.04.1.tar REACHES A SIZE OF 8.511264
     MegaBytes I GET THE ERROR MESSAGE 'corrupt input'.

       Help. Any suggestions. Is the copy at trix.ai.mit.edu corrupt?

       Is there something that somebody who knows absolutely nothing about
       UNIX, C, compress etc..... might not know to do when uncompressing
       the file? Please let me know.
