     Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, three of the
November '87 tech notes failed because of CRC errors:  169, 170, 175.
Another, 178, failed because somebody swallowed the last several lines of it.
Like most everybody else, I'm entertaining anybody to send it to me or repost.
Do I need to point out the importance of checking your postings _before_ you
post them?  Perhaps this was done; after all we do have a moderator.

     It looks to me like the three tech notes that failed with CRC all had the
longest filenames.  Perhaps binhex 4 never thought it would encounter a
filename longer than 28 bytes (or so; I haven't actually done any tests.)  Can
anybody corroborate?
