Thats a crappy site to put files on and my antivirus software flagged up a virus
I get the same errors on an older version of IM.

The file does not contain a virus there was something on the website that my antivirus software did not like.

The bad files were created with a very old compressor (not zlib). The bug
was fixed in that old software about 8-10 years ago. Sorry, I cannot remember
the name of that software now.
You can (or at least you could some years ago) "fix" the files with pngcrush.
Code: Select all
pngcrush -fix badfile.png goodfile.png
I believe it was necessary to use the "no-lib" version of pngcrush, not the
one that uses the system libpng/zlib. I'm not having much luck with either of
your "free download" sites. I'm not on a Windows system.

I remember now, it was "Image Lib" by colloseumbuilders, and the bug was fixed in 1998.
It's described on the PNG web site, at
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngaptk.html

Fred sent me a copy of the image. "pngcrush" and "pngcheck" both say the
file is corrupted. The comment within it says it was made by ImageReady, not
Colluseumbuilders.

I got the file downloaded and IM gives the same error message as was originally posted. However, I can view it on my Mac using PREVIEW with no error message. On the otherhand, when trying with GraphicConverter, it gives a message about ZLIB reporting and error in the data stream and so thinks it is corrupt. However, it displays an image. Photoshop won't open it and thinks it is corrupt.
