I have tried to ftp the etc01 distrubution from f.ms.uky.edu and extract
keeps telling me that etc01.47, etc01.59, and etc01.75 are corrupt.  I
repeated the ftp and download procedure with the same results.

I had the same results on agate.Berkeley.EDU.  Is this a corruption of the 
original release, these sites, or something in the transfer to my system.

I had no problem with the bin01 release.


I am ftp copying these files to a unix system, downloading them via modem, 
and transfering them to disk, I them read them in using mread and try extract.


Thanks for your help.
