Sometime last year I FTPed the file epi5-man.zip from the
Washington archive. Now I finally got round to fetching the
programs, I found it had all been repackaged. I was able to
log on and check the directory, and epi5-man has disappeared.
I then FTPed epi501b1.zip to b4.zip and unpacked these to
obtain the program and a readme file that says to distribute the
program but include the manual. There's another file epi501bd.zip
but I've tried several times to FTP that and it fails at the remote
end, e.g.,


Subject: X25 Xfer status of /v3/cc/rar/epi501bd.zip
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1992 15:04:20 +0000
From: Admin <Admin@uk.ac.hull.seq>
Sender: Admin@uk.ac.hull.seq

File (id 018223) from ft-relay (000040020000/FTP)
	 was aborted after 1 attempt
	 file called '/v3/cc/rar/epi501bd.zip'
	 because 'Irrecoverable error on remote network, please retry later.'

Of course, I had printed a copy of the manual then deleted the file
from all systems here.

So, does anyone know if epi501bd.zip is the manual? Can anyone suggest
why the commands that fetched the other files fail on this one? - I've
tried both binary and text modes.
