123 bytes too big bin01.56 - how to fix?

I successfully downloaded the tinyBSD disk image file. I installed a 50 Meg 386bsd partition on my hard disk. I got the distribution files bin01.00 to bin01.56. I began 'extract bin01'. It checked the files and choked on the last one only: bin01.56. This last file is the only one which is not 240640 bytes long, instead, it is 227717 bytes long. My Vax/VMS system's ftp, or else Kermit to the PC, has a 512 byte minimum size, so that when I get the last file on the PC, it is 227840 bytes long. Naturally, the extraction program chokes because the file no longer passes a CRC test, despite the fact that there is nothing missing from it. Does anyone know how to rid this file of the excess 123 bytes? Alternatively, is there any way I can 'package' the file (in a tar archive or a zip file) so that I could unpackage it properly in MS-Dos? Thanks for your help in advance. Phil Ryan Melbourne
