[pups] Checksums in the UNIX Archive

----- Forwarded message from Fred N. van Kempen ----- Warren, False alert... Ultrix-11 V3.1 source tape file is NOT corrupted. My WinZIP was - I use NT at work, download stuff, and take it home with me, to load onto the Unix machines. The Unix boxes have no problem with the files... ----- End of forwarded message from Fred N. van Kempen ----- Hi all, I'm back from holidays. With regards to corrupt files in the UNIX Archive, yes it looks like I have had a few hit. I'll check through my old backups for a clean version of Ken Wellsch's 6th Edition disk image. There is a checksums file in the archive: /checksums, with MD5 checksums for all files. If you do suspect a file is damaged, please check to see if the MD5 checksum matches that in the /checksums file. Also, has anybody tried out the VTserver 2.0 alpha program?! I'm going to be flat out here at work for a month or two, but I will try to add support for things other than plain copying of disk images. Cheers, Warren
