- Terry,
- I had a similar problem with the DMS111.sfx file. I tried all sorts
- of variants of extraction methods. To no avail. So I thought that I may have
- ftp'd it wrong so I went back to the ftp site (not sure which one) to reftp it.
- There I found both a DMS111.sfx and a dms111.sfx. I DL'd both and found that
- the lower case version worked but the caps version didn't. Check your ftp site
- again for the lower case version. (BTW for all those ready to pounce on me I
- _do_ realize that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with caps files and that
- this is an isolated corrupt file.)
