Each format is contained in a different directory. Note that all files are compressed with the Macintosh-specific compression software StuffIt.
  I found connecting to this site sometimes difficult. If you can't connect, try the base FTP directory (ftp://ftp.apple.com) and then follow the links to "devworld / Tool_Chest / Localization_Tools / Apple_Intl_Glossaries"
