[Virtualacorn-list] Saving BASIC programs from VA-SARPC for use on Rpi2 ??

[Geoff Potter]

It looks like you need to zip them all up to preserve filetypes. That way MS cannot get to them.

A friend has bought a Raspberry Pi, so I thought I would copy him some 
programs from my VA-RPC-SA (running on Windows 7) to a USB stick so 
that he can run then on his Raspberry Pi2, using proper RISC OS, from 
RISC OS Ltd.

But when he tried to use them on his R Pi2, every single file had a 
microsoft extension which prevented anything of the programs from 
running.

How can I copy prestine copies of my RO programs from my VA-RPC-SA to 
a USB stick so that a proper RISC OS computer can use them?

What am I doing wrong please?
