- There is no C64 decompressor for GnuZip. When you obtain the files from
- FTP try using RETRIVE instead of GET, and your file will be unzipped
- before sent. If you use a unix-shell (like most C64-netters) you can
- also unzip these in your homedir after GETing with:
-
- gunzip file.gz
-
- Easy, eh? :-)
