I have been using ftp for a long time and have sucessfully retrieved and used
many *.tar.Z files.  The file /pub/gnu/elvis-1.6.tar.Z on prep.ait.mit.edu is
definitely corrupt:

%>tar tvf  elvis-1.6.tar > /dev/null
tar: read error: unexpected EOF

Again, does anyone know where a sound elvis-1.6.tar.Z can be found?
