Yes, the files appear corrupted in the following way.  Following the
.BXY in the file name is the string '^j    ^j' (excluding quotes).
That is a newline char, 4 spaces, and a newline char.  These should
all be spaces (6 spaces).  So lines 3,4,5 will get combined into one
52 char. line after the FiLeStArT and alphabet lines.  I haven't actually
tried this change yet, but the <lf>/^j/newline chars do NOT belong there.
I'm assuming blanks will work, but don't know.  If it should be some other
char then we'll continue to get CRC errors, but the corrupted file header
length message will go away.

I know how to make this change with the Davex 'tr' command after dnloading,
but evidently the Unix 'tr' command works differently.  Can someone tell
me how to change \012\040\040\040\040\012 to \040\040\040\040\040\040
in unix?  Not all \012, just the ones in that pattern.  Then I can
correct the ones on grind.isca.uiowa.edu:apple2/apple8/bbs/Warp6.v25
without having to dn/up load all of them with Kermit [SLOW......] :)

(Actually ftp'ing them to this machine and using emacs to edit the
files would be faster, except PT3.1 vt100 emulator has a deficiency that
makes emacs very difficult to use on this RS6000 :( )
