So far, I have successfully unpacked all but one of the //gs Source
Code Sampler programs.  The one that gave me problems was LISTER.
Both BLU 2.28 and 2.27 report a checksum error (internal error $76)
while unpacking the program itself.  All 4 of the source files unpack
correctly and appear to be OK when I list them or read them from an
editor.  When I attempt to launch the LISTER program, my system
crashes.

Thinking that the files may have been corrupted during their trip
from BROWNVM to my mainframe, I requested new copies from the
APPLE2-L listserver.  A comparison of the original and the new files
showed that they were identical, but I went ahead and downloaded the
new copies with exactly the same results.

Has anyone been successful in unpacking and running this program?  I
assume that the file must have been corrupted during its transmission
between Grant Delaney and Chris Chung (of APPLE2-L fame at BROWNVM).
Could Grant Delaney please send another copy to the APPLE2-L list?

Finally, I would like to thank Grant Delaney for all of his effort in
sending all of the sampler files to the APPLE2-L listserver.
