Fixgz Fixes Binary Files Where CRLFs Have Been Added Mistakenly

[socrtwo]

http://www.gzip.org/fixgz.zip - "99.9% of the problems with gzip are
due to file transfers done in ASCII mode instead of BINARY mode. In
particular, gopher is known to corrupt binary files by considering
them as ASCII. Make sure that your local copy of the file has exactly
the same byte size as the original.

If you have transferred a file in ASCII mode and you no longer have
access to the original, you can try the program fixgz to remove the
extra CR (carriage return) bytes inserted by the transfer. A Windows
9x/NT/2000/ME/XP binary is here. But there is absolutely no guarantee
that this will actually fix your file. Conclusion: never transfer
binary files in ASCII mode." - Presumably this works with any file
binary transferred as ASCII rather binary. Maybe it works with files
mistakenly opened it Word or Notepad...I don't know.
