	I did not have any problems in downloading and extracting both
Install and Systools.1 for system 6.0.1 (and I did so only about two
weeks ago).  I had no reported problems with either de-binsciing and
un-shrinking any of the archives.  I did not try either the fonts disk
or Synthlab as from earlier comments I understand them not to have
changed since the previous version (6.0).  So I am pretty sure the
problem is not in the archives themselves.

	The second question has already been answered by someone else,
though I should add that I remember seeing someone with patches for
Sciibin under VMS.
