The problem is that I'm the sysop of that local BBS...:)  Sometimes when
uploading Zmodem to it, about 5% of the files become corrupt.  I just don't
have the time to download every file I upload, and it's a WWIV BBS, so I can't
check it out locally.  The wierd thing is that after I download one of my
corrupt uploads, only one specific byte is mapped to another one...say, all
$D0's get changed to $D1's...even with CRC-16 and CRC-32!  I'm using the latest
(04/26/94 or 2/2/94) release of Omen Tech's DSZ...
