Or you might want to BINscii the archive and make both available on
the page.  This way you end up with a .BXY and a .BSQ file and if the
binary version (BXY) doesn't work, users can use the text version
(BSQ).

This is what I did for the lessons that can be downloaded from the A2
University download page on Delphi.
