Yeah, I had the same problem today in trying to download the latest version
of Patch/iX for 5.5 from the jazz web server. I downloaded it to my PC via
Internet Explorer, then Reflection transferred it (binary mode, Posix
filenames) up to my HP3000 per the documentation that accompanies the
program. The HP3000 sees all of the files that comprise the STD file, but
when attempting to do the restore, it exhibits the exact same behaviour that
Tom mentions below "Failed to recover portions of compressed data". Is there
a better way to get the latest version of Patch/ix (B.00.17) other than
getting it on tape from the Response Center and what might I be doing wrong?
