Strange... I could have sworn that I did exactly what you describe (right-click followed by Save-As) to test the tarbals when I originally posted them, and they turned out just fine. However, I re-tried that just now and I'm seeing the problem. Classic ASCII vs. binary transfer snafu.
Since I don't have access to an FTP server, I'll have to send them as email attachments (off-list).
