   Clue time, if you'd read the FAQ. Files with a .BXY extension are
*not* binscii .bsq files. [Does the fact that they have different
extensions clue you in to that fact, or can you only compare the first
letter?] They're a Shrinkit file with a little extra header, and so
you use the same program you'd used to unpack a .SHK file. As this is
a GS program, GSHK should be used.

   And just to make sure that your download to the pc and then to the
GS is not adding characters, the marinetti.bxy file currently uploaded
is 44800 bytes in length. Make sure that the .bxy file has that length
at every downloading stage.

   Emailing copies is a violation of the distribution policies detailed
for this software package. Stay away from the slimier-than-thou.
