Many of the files >on Tenon's site are in this format. Yes, I did binary ftp to best and to my Mac, as well as direct binary ftp from Tenon. Before I saw the messages, I tried StuffIt Expander to just gunzip, and it worked except then the tar file had some garbage in the beginning of the file, but the UNIX tar command can just skip the garbage and untar everything OK. If I used StuffIt Expander to untar, then every file in the archive would have garbage in the header. Will try out the dfork method. So dfork is a MachTen command? Could not find in shellx.
