   My e-mail had links labelled "Get your Integrity license" and "Get
your Alpha license".

> Downloaded a COM file LMF commands for ALPHA-SYSTEM and ALPHA-LP.

   My links led to ".zip" archives (so no ".COM" problem):

      ALPHA_COMMUNITY_LICENSE_PAK.zip
      INTEGRITY_COMMUNITY_LICENSE_PAK.zip

which contained:

      INTEGRITY_COMMUNITY_LICENSE_PAK_SEP_2022.COM
      ALPHA_COMMUNITY_LICENSE_PAK_SEP_2022.COM

which UnZip 6.00 extracted as Record format: Stream_LF, with
bonus/spurious CR line endings.

   To avoid the defective line endings, you could use "unzip -a" when
unpacking, or "set file /attr = rfm:stm" after unpacking (without "-a").

   Apparently my suggestion to use an easily sortable date format in
such file names failed to have any effect.
