There's a bunch of files on apple2.org.za mirrors that don't seem to

These files are news group posts. I am able to view them in Midnight
Commander in Linux.
I downloaded those files and yes, they are simply text files.
Actually, they're gzipped text files; you'll need to decompress them first.
It doesn't help that they're missing the .gz extension that would identify
them as such. For Windows, most recent archiving programs handle gzip; for
Linux and Mac OS X, gzip and gunzip should both be available at the command
line.

Hmm...strange...my browser at work (Maxthon) downloaded the files as
text files. Maybe it has auto unzip?? I don't know, but I rechecked
the files just now, and they are plain text - they opened in WordPad
with no problems. Sorry if I provided any misleading info though.
