To my understanding, archiving as text means setting a flag in
the archive directory. Zip makes this decision on a statictical
analysis of (the beginning of) each file. One of the .po files
contains enough non-Roman characters that this flag says "binary"
rather than "text". -aa works fine on OS/390. On ASCII UNIX
it doesn't matter. The file(s), BTW, are:
SPPG@MVS3:185$ unzip -a ../lynx-cur.zip | more

FWIW,
