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
