- Not only did three of you post helpful suggestions on the bulletin board,
- even more sent messages to my account. I had downloaded the file from
- u.washington using binary mode. I did, however, apparently corrupt the
- code by compressing and then decompressing the already compressed file. Today
- I went to a lab at the university to put the file on a floppy. On my PC, I
- typed the simple filename, and the file politely extracted itself. So I've
- now jumped the hurdle that yesterday was making me cross. Thanks all of you
- for your help.

- Of course, troubles never completely go away. Now I'm learning how to access
- my mainframe account from the program's terminal mode. One of these days I
- will arrive at IGS ready to play. My name there is "fjel".
