The reason is that you probably did not set the transfer mode to TENEX.  I
suspect you set it to BINARY.  SIMTEL20 runs a TOPS-20 system and it is a
36 bit machine.  Issue TENEX prior to getting the files and they should be
in a format suitable for PKARC or SEA ARC programs.  I had the same problem
until I spotted a note about this.   Good luck
