I am the rawest beginner at Axiom -- so new that I haven't yet successfully installed it.  I am not yet familiar with the appropriate venues for requesting help, so my apologies if this e-mail has been posted incorrectly.  Here's my problem:

I have downloaded the file axiom-ubuntu-mar2009-bin.tgz.  from the website http://axiom.axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/download.html.  When trying to decompress that file I received error messages from Ubuntu 8.10's decompression program as well as from WinZip 10.0 (running under Windows XP).  The message from WinZip read "Invalid compressed data -- unable to inflate", but WinZip does display a list of files.

The same thing happened after I downloaded a second and third time, and after downloading on a second computer.  The files that WinZip lists after it achieves what appears to be a partial decompression are significantly less in number than the 6570 files listed in a successful decompression of axiom-ubuntu-jan2009-bin.tgz.

My conclusion is that the archive file axiom-ubuntu-mar2009-bin.tgz has been corrupted and needs to be replaced.  Who do I contact (name and e-mail address) about this conclusion?
