Here are the file sizes:
  TEXTURE  TIM        70,025 24/04/97   10:32
  TORUS    TMD        12,244 24/04/97   10:32

I note that when I try to Preview TEXTURE.TIM in TIMUTIL, I get an error
message in Japanese "x xxxx 65535 xxxxxxxxxx" where "x"s are extended 
ASCII
characters. Is this a limit in TIMUTIL or is the file corrupted(but the 
.gz
file was decompressed by WinZip without errors)?
