I've only seen 2 versions (now I've seen 3!!), anyway, there's nothing
wrong with that one you have, the CRC tells you that.  What has happened
is that the padding from the download is still on the end of the file so
it actually longer than the header says it should be.  All you have to do
is LOAD the module & then SAVE it again & that'll get rid of the padding.

OK, now to the hard taks, do you know where a copy of your version of
DEARC is located?  Preferably at some listserver as calling USA BBS's
from Australia ain't cheep & most BBS's won't let you download on the
first call either!!
