- The .gz extension indicates the file has been compressed with the Gnu zip
- utility, gzip. In an OS that supports gzip (DOS, Unix, Mac), you must
- uncompress the file before trying to unLynx it.

- It's possible that the file was created by a non-cbm version of lynx and could
- be somehow corrupt when using a true cbm lynx. It would help to post the
- author or uploader to find out what utilities were used to lynx and compress
- the file.
