sda stands for "(s)elf (d)isolving (a)rc" file and you don't need anything to
use this type of file. All you have to do is load and run it, and it disolves
itself into the separate files of the program it contains.

lnx files require a lynx utility program to un-lynx them. There are many
versions available, but it is best to try and get the most recent. I am not
sure what version lynx is up to, however.
