problem goes like this -
* ftped a socket interface library SI.TAR.Z (50K or so)
* uncompress fails the 1st time so, check that ulimit = 4096
* change ulimit = 4000000 & uncompress yields SI.TAR (3.5 Mg)
* try to examines files with 'tar tvf SI.TAR' & get error
'directory checksum error' 'bad block' ...
whats next?
Followup question - what is meaning of bootup dfspace message
real memory = 3800000 (or thereabouts)
available memory = 2200000 (or thereabouts)
* am I not getting full mileage out of 4 MB of RAM?
* is dfspace producing this message?
Thanks in advance
