Hey, it's okay. I had that problem myself recently with downloading
IIgs files using Netscape.  I had to use Explorer to get the file
to download properly and it worked fine unshrinking it after
that.  I have Nulib on my PC which allows me to test the
integrity of some file IIgs files types and I check it using that.
That is how I determined that it was being corrupted by
Netscape because even Nulib would give me the same error
messages on the PC before I moved it to the IIgs.
