When I run the extract utility (while attempting to install
386bsd) I get the message 'missing or corrupted file' with
reference to bin01.56.  Bin01.56 is listed as having 227,717
bytes under unix but when I download via DOS it ends up
being 227,840 bytes (probably due to sector rounding).
Question:  Is this the reason I am getting this message?
Question 2:  How can I get around this problem?  I've tried
downloading twice and both times I get the corrupt file
message.  Any help would be much appreciated!  :(
