need help down loading

[dave1945@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca ()]

I need some help on getting a downloading problem fixed. I'm trying to 
download some software from FTP.CCO.CALTECH.EDU/PUB/APPLE2. I'm going for 
the SHK types. Earlier this week I downloaded something, logged off, ran 
it through shrinkit (both 8 bit and GS versions). The 8bit Shrinkit said 
that "WARNING  MASTER HEADER DAMAGED", while GS shrinkit just displayed a 
header line saying "DAMAGED" and in the right hand side "700 items".
I thought perhaps I needed to BINSCII or GSCII+ first. Same results.
I then tried to download some different software. The result was identical.

I'm using PROTERM (2.1). The freenet lets us use Kermit or Zmodem to 
download. I'm downloading as binary and the file comes across as Binary.
I've downloaded SHK files from one of the local BBS with no trouble 
unpacking and using.

Am I doing something wrong or is this quirk with Proterm or the local 
Freenet? Incidentally, Binscii and GSCII+ download fine.
