Re: autorun script

I just unzipped the files, and ftp'ed them to my Linux account. My next move
is I'm going to download the file directly to my ftp account and gunzip it
according to the instructions in the docs directory for Unix type systems.
Do you think it could be because I unzipped it in windows first? I would
think that it wouldn't matter, but who know with windows, maybe its encoding
some extra things into the file when I open it in WordPad. I do save as text
file though. Can anyone give me the name of a Linux editor. I try emacs but
it doesn't work.
