Heribert,

You are right that the file size do not match.

Ok, here is what I didn't tell you before:  The target drive was SAMBA-mounted on a Linux system.  Believe it or not, I just repeated the same exact operation but used a target of a local NT drive and bingo -- got a good bz2 file and it was successfully processed by bunzip2.

??? !!! @@@ ###
Why did the *tar.gz files and *rpm files come down ok but not a BZ2 ???!!
I will try and sort this out to find out if Redhat or Micro$oft is the culprit.

Anyhow, THANK YOU for your patience.  Sorry to have bothered you.

Cheers .. Richard

Hi Richard,

sounds like you accidentially downloaded ascii instead of binary,
so check that file sizes match exactly!

Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-gmbh.de)
