Yeah, that was it. I was downloading it with Internet Explorer 5 and it
must have transferred as ASCII. I switched to WS_FTP and then it
"gunzipped" without complaint.
This is peculiar, because I use IE5 to download tar.gz files all the time
with no problems.
Anyway, I configured parse_doc.pl to use the xpdf programs and it indexes
fine. The text shows up in the search results as text, not displayed as
binary gibberish like Acroread does.
Thanks.
