I downloaded gnuchess-3.1 from ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu (twice!) and I can't
completely extract the file, because it seems the tar file is corrupted:

*****
Script started on Wed Aug  4 09:12:28 1993
% tar xf gnuchess-3.1.tar


tar: Directory checksum error, possible file name:

/* This file contains code for X-CHESS.

*****

Am I missing something?  Did I screw up?  I don't think I missed
anything (there were so few steps)!  Is anyone else able to download
and untar this?
