Summary: distribution .tgz is NOT compressed

Initial Comment:
the matlisp-1.0b.tgz file is in fact NOT compressed ,

rename to

 matlisp-1.0b.tar and then tar -xvf  ...   as usual.



This is a nasty error , because most people will

download and following the directions on the project

homepage attempt to gunzip the file, this will fail and

they will assume the file is broken or perhaps assume

their download has been corrupted and fruitlessly try

to redown load it.

Are you sure?  I just downloaded it with Mozilla Thunderbird

and file says it's compressed, and gtar tvz works as expected.



Perhaps you browser uncompressed it for you?
