Hi all

I'm getting errors trying to gunzip some files of xray diffration data.
I'm unzipping on a Linux box. The data was gziped on an SGI IRIX, stored on a 
Novel server,
moved over to a Windows box and eventually to my Linux box.

$ file mikel.tar.gz
mikel.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix

$ gunzip mikel.tar.gz
incomplete literal tree
gunzip: mikel.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated

$ gunzip archive.tar.gz
 gunzip: archive.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated

Note slightly diff error on the two files.

googling indicates such probs can be from ftp transfers done as ascii instead of bin but I don't think that problem has occured here.

What should I try?
