There's a bunch of files on apple2.org.za mirrors that don't seem to
be any kind of readable format.  I'm particularly interested in these:

These files are news group posts. I am able to view them in Midnight
Commander in Linux.

I downloaded those files and yes, they are simply text files.

Actually, they're gzipped text files; you'll need to decompress them first.
It doesn't help that they're missing the .gz extension that would identify
them as such. For Windows, most recent archiving programs handle gzip; for
Linux and Mac OS X, gzip and gunzip should both be available at the command
line.
