LYNX-DEV ftp files `d'ownloaded by Lynx usually larger than when using unix ftp

[Nelson Henry Eric]

I just downloaded a set of gzipped files, once by pressing `d' on the
highlighted link from within Lynx and then "saving to disk", and then
again by `get'ing in binary mode using the standard ftp on SunOS4.1.3.

Seems to me they should be exactly the same size, but "ls -l" says:

BTW, the Lynx-downloaded files fail to patch on, whereas the ftp files go on,
which explains the problems I had getting ncurses-4.1 patched last week.
