Probably because it's a .zip file and is quickly/easily
recognized as requiring binary mode. Our .flp ending probably
causes ftp clients which try to auto-guess the mode confusion.
I recall having this problem with Lynx downloading the *.flp
files at one time. To get around it, I used wcarchive's auto tar
& gz feature so the the filename ended in .tar.gz, making it
obvious to Lynx to use binary mode.
