- Hi,
-
- I downloaded emtex via anonymous ftp from ymir.claremont.edu. When I
- tested the integrity of the various *.zip files using pkunzip's -t
- option, several of the files failed, and showed errors. The error
- message suggests that the files are corrupted. I downloaded the same
- files again with the same outcome, and got the same result using a newer
- version of pkunzip. Have others encountered this problem. I got the
- same exact files from another source (niord.shsu.edu). Several .zip
- files were corrupted, but I have tried to work with tex1.zip from emtex,
- where the tex.exe file is corrupted. I tried pkzipfix to no avail.
- The failure is in checking the CRC code.
-
- The error message looks like this.
