I find it a handy trick, when downloading a zipped file to define zip
as a MIME type and/or as a download option, in such a way that the
browser runs a zip utility like zview or aview, instead of zip itself.

The result is that I can see each file in the zip file, can view
the text in any of these files if desired, and can download all or
some of the files to a dos directory of my choice. Indeed, aview
also offers the option of an automatic virus scan before downloading
any of these files.

This strategy works with most browsers. Maybe others will find it 
handy too.
