0.7d is what I am using.  it seems to work much better when

so it's my problem.

when copying files off of a cd, the readonly attribute is automatically set on the file. If I were unzipping, this would not be a problem I should think.
so I have an issue with my OEM cd.
this has nothing to do with the freedos cd (unless you guys are doing the same thing).

This is perfectly normal. The read-only bit gets set by the os everytime you copy something from a read-only media (how could it be any different) It's not the os's fault, it's the media. It's read- only, so the files copied from it are the same way. If you copy the zip file, then extract the zip, you won't have this problem, but if you copy the files directly from the cd, then this is the expected behavior.
