Maybe you have a corrupted file? The copy of soundmodem-0.10.tar.gz which I just downloaded from http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/soundmodem/soundmodem-0.10.tar.gz Is 491112 bytes. The command "md5sum soundmodem-0.10.tar.gz" returns 6bf9acaf19c55e57628a49bdff79c8f9 soundmodem-0.10.tar.gz The above tar command works just fine. Maybe your tar program is damaged? I have attached a small test file which you can try to untar. -- Don - W7DMR
