Subject: Help on installation of Pine on AIX

Maybe I'm missing something simple, but I thought that the following 
     commands were all that are required to deal with the pine-info.a32.Z 
     Pine archive file:
     
          Machine:       IBM RS/6000-560
          O/S:           AIX UNIX v3.2.5
          File:          pine-info.a32.Z
          Command:       zcat pine-info.a32.Z | tar xvf -
     
     The "tar" command fails with the following error message:
     
          tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; 
               0 not equal to 13403.
     
     Any clues/suggestions?

When you ftp'd the file across did you do it in binary mode (as against
ASCII mode)?  Some systems' ftp clients auto-detect come ftp servers'
operating systems and default to binary mode if appropriate.

The trouble is that people often come to assume this will always work, and
it doesn't (it depends on a number of factors).

To play it safe give the "binary" ftp command before starting the transfer
with the "get" command.

Cheers,
