help with the ground's archives

[Michael Maginnis <michaelmaginnis@yahoo.com>]

Need some help getting binscii (or any other IIgs compression program)
to recognize the archives from the ground ftp site.  

Here's how I'm transferring:

download to a windoze xp machine
transfer to hfs-formatted zip cart via TransMac
attempt to open archives on the iigs using various compression apps

None of them will recognize the files as archives.  This method has
worked with every other type of archive I've tried (sdk, shk, bxy,
etc).  I've tried trimming the extraneous text at the top of the files
(everything above the "Filestart" line) and transferring the files
both as text and data, with no luck.

I've no intention of using the null-modem cable / adt method to
transfer files, so if someone has a solution to offer that works with
the zip-drive method, i'd appreciate it.
