Help!
  I had  just found out about the ftp sites for Windows programs
and so I jumped right in. I couldn't connect to cica.cica.indiana.ed
u so I instead connected to wuarchive.wustl.edu and did some
binary transfers. But when I try to Unzip the .ZIP files, Pkzip
tells me to run PKzipfix. Then PKZipFix tells me that the .ZIP
files do not appear to be zipped files. I have PKUnzip v1.1
which is the version # suggested on the ftp site.
What did I do wrong?
Do I need a newer version of PKUnzip?
Is binary transfer incorrect( it wouldn't accept "tenex")?
please email to tw.bx8@isumvs.iastate.edu
                                 Thanks in advance,

                                 Steven M.
