Not quite.
FWIW, I also got unreadable cruft when I used WinZip
to extract
std39.txt.
% ftp ftp.univ-angers.fr
...fetch the file...
% file std39.txt.gz
std39.txt.gz: gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Mon Aug 11 23:47:54 2003, max
compression, os: Unix
% gunzip < std39.tzt.gz > std39.txt
% file std39.txt
std39.txt: gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Mon Aug 11 22:10:03 2003, max
compression, os: Unix
% gunzip < std39.txt > std39.txt.bis
_That_ finally gives a real text file. It's not a text file compressed
with gzip; it's a text file "compressed" _twice_ with gzip. (I use the
quotes because the second gzipping actually enlarges the file.)
And yes, it's RFC903.
