I have received several replys about a problem I was having uncompressing and
untarring the TeX3.0 from uunet.uu.net. I was getting the message, files are
not in compressed format and checksum error. A lot of you replied that I must
not have set binary mode while ftp'ing. But this mode was set. Some files
uncompressed and untarred fine but others I just kept getting the error message

I have since obtained the following copies:

web2c   version5.8a    ics.uci.edu
TeX     version3.1     labrea.stanford.edu

To untar TeX files:

cat TeX3.1.tar.Za* | zcat | tar xvf -


Thanks so much for all of your many replys. Your information was very helpful.
