Are you using 1.3A5? If not, you should FTP it from
ftp.metacard.com:/MetaCard/1.3A5 (although you might wait until 1.3A6
which will be out Real Soon Now).

If so, the problem might be how you moved the file over. Be sure you
do a binary transfer if you use a communication program (FTP, Kermit,
xmodem, etc.) or if you copy it to a DOS disk and then on to the UNIX
system.
