Most likely, you're not downloading properly <wink>. You're supposed
to use a browser, and let it choose a sensible name like
RockyAndBullWinkle_tar.gz.

Tee hee. Use it on my Linux box. Someone pointed me to a Windows
port. The readme says "can't run in a 16 bit subsystem", but the port
*is* an MSDOS executable (not a 32 bit console executable). It did
manage to decompress, but mangled file names beyond recognition.
