To my understanding, archiving as text means setting a flag in
the archive directory.  Zip makes this decision on a statictical
analysis of (the beginning of) each file.  One of the .po files
contains enough non-Roman characters that this flag says "binary"
rather than "text".  -aa works fine on OS/390.  On ASCII UNIX
it doesn't matter.  The file(s), BTW, are:

    address@hidden:185$ unzip -a ../lynx-cur.zip | more
        [ ... ]
    inflating: lynx2-8-4/docs/README.TRST  [text]
    inflating: lynx2-8-4/docs/README.jp  [binary]
    inflating: lynx2-8-4/fixed512.com  [text]
        [ ... ]
    inflating: lynx2-8-4/po/readme     [text]
    inflating: lynx2-8-4/po/ru.po      [binary]
    inflating: lynx2-8-4/po/pt_BR.po   [text]

FWIW,
