- Yes, I also have been bitten by this. Occasionally zip files are damaged
- doing file transfers with LWP4DOS version 4.01.
- Beame & Whiteside's TCP/IP stack in combination with LWP4DOS ftp program,
- using B&W's BWLWP40 shim, gives the same results.
-
- Conclusion; Novell's TCP/IP stack is OK. Their FTP program is flaky.
