- I think the file you got was compressed 16-bit. Then you'll need the -w
- option. You don't have to reinstall. It's totally normal :-((
- Expect 2 hours for a 500 k 16bit-compressed file to unpack.
- Coherent 4.0 is a bit faster because you do not need the -w option in most
- cases.
- So don't worry :-))
