Dear Michael,

How did you do the download? I have just downloaded this file using the old 
fashioned command line ftp method, and it worked fine. I expect that there has 
been an error somewhere in the transmission.

If you fetch the file from:

ftp ftp.ccp4.ac.uk
cd ccp4/6.1
get ccp4-6.1.0-core-src.tar.gz

you should find that everything is fine. If not, please get in touch directly 
with the helpdesk at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will try to work out what is 
happening.

Thanks & best wishes,

Graeme

Dear Charles,

to your information:

I just downloaded the Version 6.1 source tar file to my x86_64 Linux box
(SuSE 10.2, AMD64) and got the following tar error message.
All other (LINUX-386 and both COOCH and PHASER) tar files were fine!!

---> SNIP
...
ccp4-6.1.0/lib/data/monomers/ps.resource
ccp4-6.1.0/lib/data/monomers/full_names.list
ccp4-6.1.0/lib/data/monomers/mon_lib_ind.cif
ccp4-6.1.0/lib/data/monomers/mon_lib_ind2.cif
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

---> SNIP

May be a corrupt file?

Regards
Michael
