Thanks to all for your responses to my unzip problem. It would appear that
the problem was the that file that was being down loaded had a problem. I
did not actually solve it as such. What I did was down load e different
version of Netscape and that unzipped with out difficulty. The version of
Netscape that I had problems with was the export version and this time
I down loaded the US only version that has 128bit encryption.
