    What does this extension mean when it is on files at FTP sites?  I 
assume that it is some kind of compression.  If so, how do I uncompress 
these files, and is there a friendly program that will do it for me (you 
know, with prompts and pictures for us UNIX-illiterates)?
     Secondly, I called one of these sites (Sonata) and I wondered if 
there is a file which describes all the other files there.  I saw a file 
called Index, and wondered if that was it.  
     Finally, which are the best sites to get NeXT software from.  Is 
there a list?
