That should *never* happen. Your downloaded file must have become
broken, somehow (ASCII type ftp transfer? Bad floppy? whatever),
during transport from the SimTel.Net servers to your local harddisk.
Re-download and make sure you get a working zip file ('pkunzip -t' or
so should allow to check that right after download, without actually
unpacking it. 'unzip -t' does).
