Re: REPOST: space v1.0 1/5

I am sorry to tell you that this is once again corrupt.

Checking the files it would appear that the way in which you are uuencoding on your local machine, and not the size of the file, is the problem. Some records are one or two characters sort and others are almost 50 charachters too long.

If you uuencode the file then perform the following :

(for line in `cat space.tar.Z.uu`
do
echo $i | wc -c
done) | sort | uniq -c

this will return the character count per line, most will be 62 but allow for the header (begin 644 space.tar.Z) and footer (end) and any other oddities will then be detectable.

Good luck
