Just guessing here, but I generally suspect any MS-DOS executable that's
over 500k in size :-)

Seriously, I have had much trouble also with corrupted uuencoded files
taken off the net.  I can't determine if local or net software is to
blame, but about 75% of the encoded .exe & .arc files I pull in are
unusable.

Is this a common experience for others?  I would appreciate hearing about this.
