Sigh!

If the archives were plain-text source code it wouldn't be a problem.
But Unix executables won't run on MS-DOS or VAX/VMS as far as I know.
And programs in source code that have been tar'd or z'd or whatever 
require Unix-based utilities to unpack them.

My opinions are mine:  I don't speak for any other person or company.
