A26 files

Has anyone heard of these? They're like binary files but the extension is .A26. They work fine on Stella (Haven't tried it for Z26 yet.) The only reasons I ask are: #1: The people at HSC were having trouble trying to find my challenge of the week (Edtris), so I kindly posted an A26 file of it up. It wouldn't let me upload it, so I had to zip it. and #2: I haven't seen very many of them on the internet.

I believe that the only difference between Atari .bin and .a26 files is the extension itself. You might try renaming the file to .bin only to find that it works just the same.

For actual ROMs, Stella doesn't care what the file is called. If a file ends in '.zip', Stella will open it internally. If it contains only one file, it will be treated as a ROM. Otherwise, it will use the first file it finds that ends in either '.bin' or '.a26'.
