We recently had a similar problem.  Files were zipped(PKZIP).
One of the problems was the differences in the ASCII file formats
of DOS and UNIX.  To get around this(in HP-UX), there are two
commands ux2dos file1 > file2 and dos2ux file1 > file2.
The problem remains:  were the original files UNIX or DOS?
Are the zipped files UNIX or DOS?  I don't know how to get around this
problem except to go through all the possible permutations until
the program works or looks correct.
