After hearing a lot lately about the grouch and finder sounds, I decided to
get both and check them out.  Finder sounds was no problem but when I get
grouch.hqx from sumex (/mac/init directory) BinHex converts it to a ~1K
document called grouch.  The original file on sumex is 181817 bytes.  I
have retrieved it several times, both with NCSA/BYU Telnet 2.3.2 and
MacIP.  I always get the same results. Normally when I un-BinHex something
I either get a .sit file or a runnable program. 

Anyone know of a problem with this file on sumex?  How 'bout another place
I can get the grouch from?  BTW, I have also been looking for Address Book.
Where is it hiding?

Thanks for any clues.

I won't consume much bandwidth with this problem. It has probably been
asked a hundred times before.

I've been ftp-ing macware from sumex and most of it (80%) won't binhex
without CRC errors. Some comes out OK so I assume my methods are correct.
Could I be doing something wrong or is the software that flakey (utilities
and games mostly)? Does FTP do its own error checking?

Any advice appreciated.
