        I just renamed a 1.3mB tar.gz file to test.gz and transferred
it via ethernet10, ftp, to another machine.. md5sum same on both files..

        On other machine renamed same file as test2.gz and
transferred it back to the original machine; md5sum reporting the
same.. Used 'cmp' to compare test.gz and test2.gz - exact match...

        Of course this Linux to Linux which may not prove anything
for you except that it does work. <grin> Did I mis-read the problem?
