A fast and simple method to check whether the downloaded file is corrupt
is to calculate checksums, e.g. md5 or sha - corresponding programs should
be available on most Unix/ Linux systems. It depends, however, on York
calculating the checksum and putting it next to the actual archive for
downloading.

Dear Michael,
How did you do the download? I have just downloaded this file using the old
fashioned command line ftp method, and it worked fine. I expect that there has
been an error somewhere in the transmission.
If you fetch the file from:
ftp ftp.ccp4.ac.uk
cd ccp4/6.1
get ccp4-6.1.0-core-src.tar.gz
you should find that everything is fine. If not, please get in touch directly
with the helpdesk at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will try to work out what is
happening.
Thanks & best wishes,
Graeme

Dear Charles,
to your information:
I just downloaded the Version 6.1 source tar file to my x86_64 Linux box
(SuSE 10.2, AMD64) and got the following tar error message.
All other (LINUX-386 and both COOCH and PHASER) tar files were fine!!

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1

May be a corrupt file?
