On the v1.02 release, a special program was included to update the .ZIP files. This was probably mentioned in the v1.01 material. Other than these incompatabilities between .ZIP files, nothing else could be wrong _except_ for blown .ZIP files. If the latter problem existed, the unzip utility would be printing messages noting CRC errors. Therefore, it must be a ZIP version problem. I suggested the 1.02 release (instead of 'upgrade') since my version included programs which would change v0.92 .ZIP files into 1.0x compatable .ZIP files. It may very well be that v1.01 had these same files. I do not know. Reading of the information file in the 1.02 release explains how the 0.92 .ZIP files can be updated for 1.0x compatability. (I assume the person who launched this thread has read the appropriate information files provided in the ZIP archive.) Shane
