This doesn't fail here.  The link we have in place is to the most
current version of the FAN compressed tar file:

-rw-rw-r--   1 9286     ustaff    319339 May 21 1996  fan-2.0.2.tar.Z
-rw-rw-r--   1 steve    ustaff    320251 May 18 08:54 fan-2.0.3.tar.Z
lrwxrwxrwx   1 steve    ustaff        15 May 18 08:54 fan.tar.Z -> 
fan-2.0.3.tar.Z

>This is a symbolic link which should point to
>ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/fan-2.02.tar.Z
>This ftp file is fine.

Is the fan-2.0.3.tar.Z file invalid?  If so, should we remove it and change
the fan.tar.Z link to be the 1.0.2 version?
