The archive appearing in the screen as text should be no problem; if you
save the HTML, the file should be of type 'text'. I just downloaded all
the last version of VoyBrowse, and the above worked fine, converting the
archive files to type 'archive' before loading SparkFS.

Hope this helps, and that I haven't quoted too much.
