I assume you mean the winbuild file. I just downloaded the file from:
www.xmission.com/~georgeps/implementation/software/megapkg/NexTk_0.5_winbuild.zip">http://www.xmission.com/~georgeps/implementation/software/megapkg/NexTk_0.5_winbuild.zip
It unzips fine in Ubuntu and Windows XP.
Networks unfortunately do mangle bits at times. So either I've been
very unlucky and the remote server has mangled the bits correctly
twice, or the file you got was corrupted by a network transfer.
The checksum for packets can succeed, but the data can be invalid. I'm
hoping someday that once networks are fast enough, there can be shadow
packets that are compared.
