Sorry, should have read this message before answering the earlier one. PKUNZIP has an option to check a zip file (PKUNZIP -t <file>). If it passes this, you can be pretty sure it wasn't corrupted in the zipped form. Of course, corrupted data could have been zipped in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't really buy that qp_view gives you much in the integrity department (doesn't give you anything if the damn thing won't run<g>). Qp_view just doesn't run long enough to do any real internal integrity checks. QP says you can do it manually if you want to. Don't you have to take the BB download on faith anyway? I think qp_view is provided because it's a little arcane to download and rename files for lot's of folks. Which isn't a bad idea, BTW, but it sure makes it bad when it doesn't work. Spots
