Tell me about it! 

I checked a few of them "by hand"-- and believe me, it's a real headache paging
through a 1.6 meg file-- and the only text I found was the licensing legalese
at the beginning (which I stripped out).  No luck.  A friend did the same with
some of the other files, but with the same results. :-(
