    I have the same problem in most of the files downloaded from this group
(comp.binaries.ibm.pc) recently except kermit2.30.  So could you people add
one or two lines of explanation as how, on which machine, under what O/S you
did your uuencode and Arc when posting binary codes here?  That could help us
a lot!  Thank you very much.
