What archiver are you using? I'm guessing you're talking about some product I wrote, all of which are "tar.gz" files, not "zip" files. WinZip can read them, however. Shane

I've seen this happen due to a couple of things: 1. An archive not being completely downloaded (check the file size in Bytes matches that listed on the download site) 2. Windoze giving the downloaded file the wrong extension. This can get particularly tricky when Windoze plays it's game of hiding file extensions it thinks it knows about. Check the whole file extension matches that from the download site (usually .tar.gz) cheers, Chris You are usign WinZip, aren't you?

I've seen this problem before. ie mangles the file name and winzip doesn't seem to like .tar.gz extensions (i think?) . just rename it with .tgz extension and winzip will be happy. Cheers Kapil
