Well, it could be one of several things: 1) it's a valid zip file, but the download was corrupt. 2) it's a valid zip file, the download was good, but it's password-protected. 3) it's a valid zip file, the download was good, but it uses depends on newer features not supported by Leopard (are things like SecureZIP supported?). 4) it's not a valid zip file. -- Eugene http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
