You should test it to see if it is corrupt.
How are you downloading it? I tried unsuccessfully with the AWEB SE
included with OS 3.5, so I tried Voyager. Seems AWeb was corrupting files.
Testing the achive confirmed that.
LZX files seem to be corrupted by Netscape under windows, whereas LHA files
survive the transistion.
The BoingBag archive in LZX format is also on Amiga Format CD 51 and 52,
probably 53 too. Going to miss getting an Amiga magazine with a CD...
