This is just a guess, but did you remember to set the ftp transfer type
to binary or tenex before getting the file?  A compressed file uses the
full 8 bits of every byte (on a byte oriented machine), so the default
ASCII transfer doesn't work.  Try re-doing the ftp and remember to
use the command "type binary" before doing the transfer.  (If to/from
a non-byte oriented machine like a DEC-20, you will need "type tenex").

Hope this helps.
