No, the files aren't corrupt. I didn't have any problems at all - just did
what the README said to do, and everything worked fine. Please, folks!
README is not just a catchy name. You really *are* supposed to read it!
If you didn't download it with the rest of the stuff, then do yourself a
big favor and get it before you try anything else. This is just the
first of *many* questions it answered for me.
