    Hi,
    
    I've downloaded the validator tar ball a couple of times on different days and everytime I try to extract it I get the following error...
    
    x ./validator/htdocs/sgml-lib/pro/usr/local/lib/sgml/iso_8879-1986/entities/genera
    l_technical, 4371 bytes, 9 tape blocks
    tar: directory checksum error
    
    I'm using the command gunzip -c <filename> | tar -xvf -
    Any ideas why I keep getting this?  I've never received this sort of error before and I download and do this fairly regularly...
    
    thanks
    
     - Steve
