>A client in Ashdown had trouble installing LPR Spooler from the
>advertised location:
>
>http://web.mit.edu/installers/win.combined/LPRSpool/wlprinst.exe
>
>wlprinst.exe reported a "corrupt binary" upon execution. We found
>that no matter what web browser we used, the downloaded file was
>truncated to 89K rather than 271K. We tried lynx, Netscape, and IE on
>multiple machines.
>
>I'm not sure why the installer gets truncated, but one solution is
>to login to Athena, attach installers, then use zmodem to
>transfer /mit/installers/win.combined/LPRSpool/wlprinst.exe
