Yes Alex, I have only a winmodem to access my slow (max 26-4)
connection...I downloaded the files in MS explorer and sucked them up
into Linux through the VFAT hole. first generation W95 with fat16..
Your question indicates to me that this procedure would
introduce errors to the downloaded file? is this a common malady?
is there any way I can repair the breakage or force it to decode even
if it has errors in the format?
thank you for answering
