when I noticed that most of them ended in .gz. Now, I've hit this brick wall before with no luck. I intend to learn Lojban, but I can't do anything until I figure out how to un-gunzip these. If anyone has any knowledge they are willing to share please e-mail me. BTW, my experience with gunzip is naught. Many thanks! John McClellion jmcclel@ix.netcom.com
