Hi Joel, You need MACzip to unzip files. Try using the MAC File Finder, GO MACFF, to locate it. Then you shouldn't have any trouble unzipping files. Becareful, tho, that you don't download programs for PCs. You won't have any trouble viewing text files, but programs wouldn't run correctly. Always…

Nils, CompuServe supports the full 127-character ASCII set – characters from 128 to 255 are _not_ ASCII but are subject to interpretation based on the code page and platform you're running on. Good news, though: CIS supports the Latin-1 character set for extended characters such as umlauts, and has done…

Joel, Not at all. There's a wide variety of unZIP utilities for the Macintosh, and the newer ones are just as good as the ones on the PC end. For now, GO MACFF and search on the keyword UNZIP for programs newer than mid-1993. This will help ensure the 2.04…
