I think the files are broekn.. i got them from cdrom.com and have redownloaded them twice Seeing the way Outlook mangled your email, I could guess that you downloaded the tarfiles in Winbloze? If so, did you make sure to tell whatever ftp client you used to download in binary format and not ASCII? If you did the download with a webclient, in either FreeBSD or Windoze, all bets are off as to how it might have mauled the files. Boot into FreeBSD and use the command line ftp to get them. If they still don't work, please post back the 'ls -l' output of the directory that contains them. -- Crist J.
