Not a "plain" file question

[Don <leed@sfsu.edu>]

Hi!
	The subject line explains it all.  At various times when I try to 
dwonload from the grind or caltech, etc... Sometimes I get the message 
that the file is not a "plain" file.  I assumed that meant it wasn't a 
text file so I switched to binary mode and still no luck, so I tried 
again in ascii mode, and still no luck.  That isn't a problem with 
programs like Zlink that have multiple versions up in bsq, SHK, etc..., 
but Hera and Hera.dec94 don't seem to have other versions.  Anyone know 
how to download those files, or know of other versions that I can 
download from somewhere?  And what is a "plain" file anyway?  Thanks!

-Don
