If there is a file that someone downloaded from an FTP site or MailServer that
didn't work properly, post it here about it so that we will know it is a bad
upload. So that if someone who has a working version of that file, they could
uploaded again to the FTP site or Mail-Server.                         
Moreover, if there is a particular file that you downloaded and you liked    
post a little comment  about it so that others might become aware of.
 
I was the one who uploaded Lynx and VideoLib for the C128. However, since
I don't have a C128 there is no way for me to test any of the C128 stuff.
Have others experienced the same problem with these two files?
How about other files? Is the C64 stuffs working properly?...
 
 
Sincerely,
