As there are few, if any, instructions on that page for downloading, I've
tried a couple of methods:
1) download to PC, then use reflection to transfer AS BINARY to the HP

OK, it's there and it's binary...

[obviously, I don't use lzw on a daily basis...] seems the file should have
a code of 665, since that's what I see on some files CREATED on our system
w/lzw...

hmmm... maybe because this is a "posix" filename?

***Error number: 502
HELP FSERR 502
MPE's message catalog contains the following (set #8, msg #502):
INTERNAL CLOSE ERROR-POST FAILED;INVALID POINTER (FSERR 502)
The only thing I can think of, at this point, is that I have an out-of-date
version of lzw, but that seems unlikely [even though the banner above shows
1993] since the version (A.02.24) matches what I see in the file header:
%print sleep860;format=strwrite(r:'garbage')
........A.02.04...AAREADME.SLEEPSTG.SYS........................:............
...

2) I used FTP from this HP to get the file, using binary transfer mode, and
I still get 502's
ftp> open ftp.editcorp.com
<login>
ftp> cd HP3000/Freeware
ftp> binary
ftp> get sleeplzw.bin ./sleeplzw.bin
[etc]
MPE/iX version 6.0, no patches that I know of.
