The zip archives are broken for me too.

Oh, well. Guess who didn't test the zip archives before uploading them.

I've been using 7Zip for over 6 months with good results :-(

Looks like its back to using PowerArchiver for me, or perhaps I should
just not use the 'Deflate64' option?

There's a problem with win98 machines with limited resources that I'm
currently tracking down, so hopefully there's going to be another
version anyway,
