Ok, it must have gotten missed in my post :-)
The files are TEXT files. I have yet to see a binary file that wasn't
obviouslly binary from the filetype (PC .ARC and .ZOO files). The few that are
real binary are few and far between. All of the SECTOR data is TEXT regardless
of what the GENIE software says.
When you use X[YZ]modem to upload a file to GEnie (CompuServe, etc) it uploads
8 bit files unless you specifiy otherwise. To GEnie, any 8 bit file is BINARY.
You can still look at them or download them via Capture or by X[YZ]modem.
The only problem that I have encountered with the files is that they are CR
delimited lines, not CRLF (PC) or LF (Unix(r)). A simple 6 line 'C' program
fixes the problem.
