Would someone point me to a viewer for the more popular archiving techniques noted above which I can run under UNIX. As you may imagine, it can be very frustrating to download a large file from my UNIX system to the PC only to find that it wasn't what I thought it would be. If I could read the "readme" file before downloading I could save myself a lot of time and effort. Cheers, -Graham

This, and many other similar recurring queries are covered in /pc/ts/tsfaq19.arc (Frequently Asked Questions), easily available eg from our site and Simtel20. A very brief summary for garbo.uwasa.fi: Take a look at the /unix/ts directory for the relevant Unix utilities, and at /unix/ts/0news-u file for instructions how to set them working on an Unix system. ...................................................................
