also got problems to decompress the file here. with winrar 3.00 and powerarchiver (winzip freeware) v6.00.5
both worked well with numerous files for years
old linux' unzip worked fine.

only the 2 .BAT and the directory uncompress fine.

using linux tool "zipinfo -v":
-it shows that these 3 items use:
"compression method: none" (too small files perhaps?)

-all other file have:
"compression method: deflated (enhanced-64k)"
"compression sub-type (deflation): normal"

a classic zip file that I have hanging around (presumably winzip-compressed) show:
"compression method: deflated"
"compression sub-type (deflation): maximum"

From what I see, you are using some special compression scheme (enhanced-64) that only some of the unarchivers understands.
The solution may be for all of us to upgrade to latest Winzip. Or to use the linux unzip tool .

My opinion is that you should recompress the file according to standards. It seems to be some weird configuration option in your Zip archiver (winzip?).

Hope it helps.
