- Hi,
-
- I have the following problem with pkunzip: I downloaded zipped files from
- ftp-sites and transferred them with versatermPro/Kermit to our PC which is a
- Macintosh.
- When I unzip the files on my IBM-PC with Pkunzip I get for some files the error
- message "inconsistent local header for.." and the resulting file is empty.
- So I looked at the zip-file and found that after 5 or 6 lines there is written
- "appl????", which is not in the original file on the vax. Maybe this is the
- cause for this mess.
- Is there another cause?
- Can this be repaired?
- And HOW?
- HELP!!!!!
-
- Thomas
