Hi John,
After reading your previous mail I was going to suggest that maybe you
have a corrupted bzip2, or corrupted RAM. I'm glad it's not the RAM!
To answer your question about the gzipped files in /usr/share/doc
directories, I assume they are gzipped to save disk space. There are
some file managers, like mc, that let you look at gzipped text files
without gunzipping them first.
Tom
