processing ZIP files on Netcom/Nesscape v.2.5

I had a long weekend fruitlessly attempting to to decode, unzip the new TR 
versions 
several of you have kindly emailed.  Fresh new copy of Win95 Norton has brought 
the 
486/100 down to sluggish speed, but has not helped to unZIP the TR ZIP file.  
Any 
suggestions on good way to set up Norton to be a helpful watcher, but not steal 
all the 
CPU's speed?

In looking in WRITE at each of the zipped files sent to me, I notice they all 
contain 
lines of code that are exactly the same length, even though I had set my 
Netcom/Netscape 
Mail Options to Variable Width Font.  Hmmm.  I think I may be cutting my own 
throat. 

I've just changed the Options, Mail, Composition choice from "MIME COMPLIANT" 
to "ALLOW 
8-BIT".  Also changed Options, Mail, Appearance choice from "VARIABLE WIDTH 
FONT" to 
"FIXED WIDTH FONT".

Tree, could you please send V5.84 again -- I think I may be ready to receive.

Thanks all!  

73, Randy NZ6N
