The file was a Spark file, sized (about) 7K.
The original is /exactly/ 8192 = 8K bytes.

May I suggest we no longer look into this, as I made a terrible
mistake.

Somewhere in the first half of 2007 I started to forget to choose the
'Zip' radio button from the list of possibilities, as I have a proper
zip/archive file found with a January 2007 date stamp.

Every message about this topic make me feel so embarrassed!
Please you all, forgive me.
