- I noticed (while FTP'ing) to mac.archive.umich.edu that they have a
- large selection of games for Atari. Most of these games had endings
- with ".lzh", ".zoo" or ".tos". Does one need some sort of compression
- programs for these files? If so what and where can I get it?
-
- Also, as I understand it, Atari has their own system. If I download
- these files, and the person in Germany has the correct decompression
- programs, is it possible at all for her to read the disk on which I
- send it?
-
- I can download directly onto Mac or DOS formatted floppies.
- I presume I download the files as binary data.
-
- Is there really anything I can do without having access to an Atari?
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond via e-mail
- since I don't read this newsgroup regularly.
-
- Thanks a lot in advance!
