NO, not THAT kind of corruption, the kind where 0's become 1's and vice versa ;-)

I have been informed that people trying to download the (most excellent) spread sheet I developed for comparing various FIRST motors have not been able to read the file.

Further investigation has shown that for reasons that are not clear to me the file is gaining a few Kbytes in size during the download process.

So, I have zipped the file and re-loaded it on our site so that teams may download the zipped file and then recover the Excel file without the additional corrupt bytes that are causing the problems. Note that the file is essentially the same size zipped as unzipped (2% compression) because Excel files not terribly good candidates for compression. But the goal in this case is not compression but protection.

Let me know if there are any more problems accessing this (or any other) file.

Your humble servant,

Joe J.
