- This should be a FAQ question, but here's the answer anyway:
-
- You should have 4 of these files, numbered 1!... 2!... 3!... and
- 4!... These represent basically fourths of a disk. Use the disk
- unpacker UNZIPCODE to decode these to a floppy. This format is used
- for programs with custom disk formats where a packer like Lynx or
- Noah's Arc wouldn't do the job.

- Correct. Lynx is a de-facto standard that's ubiquitous around here.
