Hi Dann,
1. Yes. I have downloaded all three; only the .sg. file gives problems.
2. I don't use Windows at all. I've been using the bunzip2 utility which came
with my (brand new) SuSE 7.2 distribution.
The error message is reproduced below:
-----
bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
Input file = junkbase.sg.bz2, output file = junkbase.sg
It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.
You can use the `bzip2recover' program to *attempt* to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.
bunzip2: Deleting output file junkbase.sg, if it exists.
-----
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Andrew
