+three different compressed formats:

+Unihan-3.1.zip for Windows. (Use winzip)
+Unihan-3.1.Z   for Unix.    (Use uncompress)
+Unihan-3.1.gz  for Unix.    (Use gzip)

+UCDwithoutUnihan.zip is a Windows winzip file that contains
+all of the Unicode Character Database files except
+Unihan-3.1.txt and this ReadMe.txt file. This file is
+provided for convenience when downloading files from the

+exactly the same format they have on the server (with Unix
+line endings). From a browser, right-clicking on this file
+entry will allow automatic download and unzipping on a
+Windows system with winzip installed.
