   I and others have asked you to detail precisely how you are
downloading, what computers the files are going through, and what
programs you're trying to use in unpacking. You have not provided this
information, which we feel is vital to helping you any further. If you
want to be helped, please provide this information.

   I've said this several times before: they're NOT mac files in the
Apple II directory on apple2.caltech.edu. They're Apple II files.

   Give more information. Simply repeating a vague request for help
every few weeks is not going to get anywhere. Apple2.caltech.edu works
fine for me and others; it must be something particular to your
situation (especially not making sure that binary (NOT Macbinary)
transfers are enabled at all times). Therefore, we need to know the
particulars.
