Got it. My basic algorithm for finding problems usually starts with
"what could Microsoft have done to screw this up?" I faltered. In
this
case, MS could have made a mockery of the file names in the
archive, and
that is apparently just what they did. I do not care for 7-Zip's
user
interface, but the engine works. It magically understood the archive
(what's that word again, standards???<g>), unzipped all the files,
and
now everything works. Very impressive BTW.
That rings a bell.
I had the same problem with the early Sophie releases.
The Windows unzipper tried to create a folder and a file with the
same name.
I reported the problem to the Sophie team, and with the most recent
releases of Sophie, Windows can unzip it ok.
Might be worth finding out how they got around the problem.
I think the problem is the Mac: the zip creates hidden files (starting
with a dot, I think) for storing the resource
fork of the old macos filesystem. I should create the zip differently...
