    Hmm...  I have heard of some people having success, and some not...
It seems to be a bit random at times...  I know for sure quite a few
people have succesfully downloaded claz, uudecode, and juggler after
ftp'ing from here.  One thing you MUST be sure is that you are in
'binary' mode when ftp'ing...  Otherwise it will not work.  Also, if you
get in touch with me, doc@j.cc.purdue.edu, as it says in the index file,
I will work with you to get the files down correctly.  If I am not informed,
I cannot help.  I do not always religiously read this newsgroup, and if a
friend did not inform me of this problem, I would not have known about it
for several days since I am engrossed in revising the comp.sources.amiga
and comp.binaries.amiga posting method...

    Please, get in touch with me, send me mail if you have problems...  I
will try and look into the above problems this weekend though...
