Any >body else had this problem? Several other people reported the problem. Sorry it was not caught before the file was made public. IP205.ZIP has been deleted from the SIMTEL20 archives. Webb is trying to get a good copy from the author. I hate self-extracting archives inside archives! This is a good example of what happens when you can't automatically check the files with the built-in archive test function in ZIP or another other archive system.
