This is TERRIBLE!

* 15 links. OK.

* I click on one of the links. A new window opens, but there is
  nothing in it. Not OK!

* A "save this file?" box opens. For a 3kB zip file! Ridiculous!

* I save the file and unzip. OK.

* The unzipped file is a ".doc" file with the characters '(', ' '
  and ')' in the name. Bleah!

* I try opening it in the only program I have that can read ".doc"
  files, but it does not recognize it. Not OK!   :-(

* The files are all in a directory called "Ascii/", and their file
  names all begin with "Ascii_20_". That's just silly.

I would suggest instead:

* Change the files to ".txt" and use simple names ("Aerei.txt",
  "Animali.txt", "Disney.txt", etc).

* Do not zip (they do not need it).

* Do not open a new window (that's just irritating).
