I've uploaded another one in the corrupt one's place. The old one was tar. I used zip now. 

@Jo Even, yes it will cause incompatibilities with text written in an old czech language character encoding that might have been used by the atari. Basically if you have an old czech document written in atari works for example but with a different encoding you will see stuff that you shouldn't. But if you try to load something written in microsoft word you'll see it just fine (rtf format). For older stuff you can always go back to the previous encoding.
