How does one "decode" a binary file? I have downloaded a binary file
from umn-cs.cs.umn.edu archives that was tagged with a '.Z' and it is a binary
file.(I used ZTerm with ZModem protocol). I have tried running it through:
Binhex5.0, Stuffit1.40A, PackitIII and MacArc but none of them liked it!
Is there some other program that I need or am I missing something?
