Aha,

a Clue ! Netscape seems to unzip the files in a default mode.  Even from a
CD it seems.  Shane Bearham has commented on this in an earlier post.
Since I am morre used to M$ browsers, and still figuring out Mozilla,  I
can't give a quick answer to this.

I have enough trouble with uncompressing GIS data using ftp without Mozilla
interfering.
