This is primarily for Iain.
I've downloaded about 20 zip files from the 500+ games page (Wizball, Elite, Giana sister for example) and all the zip files are in error. Winzip 6.3 says the files are not valid archives and Winzip 7 says they are not the first disk of a backup set. Anyone else had a problem?
Iain, what version of Zip did you use to create these files ???
Thanks.

As it says on the top of the page where you download them, the single game files are actually ,prg files, they are just called .zip so the browser downloads them correctly as binary files.
