WinZip should have resulted in a edif2kicad-2007-11-18.tar file.
The download is a compressed tar source file and you will need an
IDE including a C compiler, Yacc and Flex parser either under 
Linux or Cygwin. (see README) Some have had sucess using msys, 
Wingz, I had trouble installing that IDE.

After download:
 o make some_dir
 o cd some_dir
 o tar zxvf edif2kicad-2007-11-18.tgz
 o make
 o e2sch your_file.edf
 o eeschema your_file.sch

I will try and get some Windoze .exe files released.
