	I have been trying to unravel the directory PD2:<CPM.KERMIT> for
a friend who has an old Morrow Decisions CP/M machine.  I plan to get
him the HEX files and the DOCs.  

	However, when I "un-arc" CP409HEX.ARK.1, I find that a number of
the HEX files in that archive fail the parity check and that the
"un-arc-ing" terminates prematurely because a "File has an invalid
decode tree."  Although there are 61 files in the archive, I get only 38
of them because of this premature termination.

	I believe that my "un-arc-ing' procedure is valid, because it
unravels the DOC archive in the sme directory satisfactorily.

	Have any of you met this problem and solved it?  If so, how?

	Thanks,

_Brint
