I have had NO success with the files on ummts.cc.umich.edu  PC5.  You
can get info on how to unpack them from the !INDEX file, but what it tells you
in there doesn't work.  I've tried BinSCII on the AW.CUSTOM file, like it says
to and it didn't work. The file is FULL of control characters.  Also, the ones
that say they don't need to be unpacked (I assume they're just standard ASCII
files) are filled with garbage, mostly @ signs.
